Greetings again.

After sleeping over this and walking around the closest mall, I
realized that buying a scanner-only Canon Canoscan LIDE 400 at the
corner store, and some printer-only thing later on may be a better
solution for my most urgent problems: very likely, I will have to
scand 1000+ photographs but print very little in the next 4/6 weeks,
after that it should be the opposite, i.e. little printing, but very
little scanning.

The doubts I have about this solution are:

- USB-powered??? This worries me. I was giving for granted I would
  connect this via a small USB hub to an Intel NUC, but it won't work,
  will it? And if I attached this to the only USB port still available
  on the NUC, would it drain too much power from a device like that?

- the SANE website says that scanner is fully supported via the "pixma
0.28.6 driver", but I do not understand, or recognize, whether the
sane package coming with Ubuntu 22.04 does contain that specific
driver or not, and/or if I would need other packages (Vuescan???):

     https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/sane

any help to understand if that scanner will be usable without problems
on my NUC/Ubuntu 22.04 combination is VERY welcome! Ditto for any
mention of problems with that scanner that I may have overlooked.

TIA,
Marco
