Can anyone suggest a scanner? by Khaar2007-07-09 05:52:25
  Have you tried a piece of cardboard? by shadowsystems 2007-07-09 06:00:29
Paint it black... I mean *BLACK*. The darker, more solid (no streaks) black you can get it, the better.
Lay the drawing face-down on the glass, lay the black cardboard down behind it, & tell it to scan.
I used to have an HP PSC1315 & when I wanted to scan in my pencil drawings (on either graph paper, or onion skin) I found that the black cardboard made it stand out more from the paper & would thus render an image that didn't completely stink. =)

Hunk of cardboard the size of the glass: free (scrounged)
Black paint from the hardware store / hobby shop: $5
Not having to replace a perfectly good piece of equipment because it refuses to behave: priceless!
