I want to buy a new printer that can copy as well as print.
Inkjet seems suitable. I guess if I need to be able to copy, then an
allinone is in order. Since I have a router, a network printer would
seem in order, but USB will do.

I do not want trouble, which I have had with my present HP C7280 AIO.

Someone recommend something?

George


I've had no trouble with my HP930 or HP5550 printers over about 9 yrs but
perhaps they 'don't make them like they used to'. My Epson 2480 scanner has
been great for a couple of years as well.

I've never seen any good quality text from any Epson printer so that would
rule an Epson general purpose workhorse printer or AIO out for me as letter
quality is important. IF only photos were likely to be printed then perhaps
Epson would do.

HP cartridges seem to be getting tiny and expensive lately so I doubt if I
would buy an HP today. Epson make the best cheap scanners and Canon make
the best all round cheap printers currently, so I would buy these, not an
AIO, but if I had to it would be a Canon.

Did you read the referances I posted? There never should be two or
three feet of message for something like that. Anything not
germane to the reply should have been snipped. This keep articles
short and understandable. Top posting is NOT efficient, and is
highly annoying.

We can separate knowing we have different opinions.

True. At least we can be polite about it.

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Well, this is what I would suggest .. and hope the OP will come alive from
his death too bg



The OP is alive and well - following this thread. My HP AIO is still
failing miserably. Hell, yesterday the normal re-install to get it to
work again caused my computer to crash, requiring a recovery back to
3/30. Thank God I had one.

Thanks

I wonder if it's possible that the Windows installation has
a problem and you would have trouble trying to install many
different AIOs.


One would think maybe so. But I have the AIO networked (via router)
to two different machines, but XP SP3. I lose the AIO on both
machines at different times.
