I mean important TO YOU, in a printer, then you might have eogtten other than everyone's favorite. I'll tell you mine, but honestly, without knowing what you like best in printers, it's a very nearly worthless datum. I like the HP 7130. HP doesn't sell it anymore, but there's quite a active market for them on ebay, and you can get good prices for them, so good that you could afford to buy 2 and keep one for hot spares. It's what HP calls their "AIO" or All In One printer, which means it prints, scans, copies, faxes, and shines your shoes. It has very nice paper handling, so it not only does very good 2 sided printing/copying, it also automatically will convert single sided copies to doouble-sided, without your needing to even touch the copies as it does it's work, with automatic input feeding, flipping, along with output feeding/flipping. It also does it all in color, and p[retty dense at that. It's not a completely perfect printer, just my own favorite, and the fact that it's maintaining THAT popular a secondary market is a pretty good recommendation. I bought one for my son, it's that good. There's a newer version, the 7310, it's not as good as the original 7130, but it's a nice printer, nevertheless, but it's too darn bad HP had to change what seems to me to be nearly a perfect product. > Thanks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHx1gLz62J6PPcoOkRApqgAJ9AMRG85snu6ErXWusr91+o9ccCtgCeMkH2 ixmaM0635kVtuoLTAUwo9Gg= =6SBe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
