Printers andd scanners are full of motors and gears :-)
However, they may be bipolar, and that little motor with driver from ebay is only 2$ (plus waiting to arrive from China.. I bought 5 some time ago and used them all) and it is what Aaron proposed (to be used with Arduino Uno, as pictured).
Also, you can get 3 Arduino Nano boards for 10$... (Nano is smaller but uses the same processor)
