I don't want to beat this to death here, but only wish to mention that at the time I purchased this pinter it was HP's top end color inkjet and set me back $550. I'm glad you had better luck than I, but suggest your experience may be atypical. Just ask anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of owning a Pavillion and tried to get tech support for the LT Winmodems. Took them about 4-5 mos. to get drivers that would work with ISP's using USR/3Com products. For a while there the unofficial HP position was to switch to an ISP that used Rockwell chipsets. -- Ciao--Ken http://www.y2know.org/safari Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with your Microsoft product.
