HP Officejet 4635 e-All-in-One Color Printer
Because HP does not provide Windows 8 drivers to my current printer and
scanner, I am looking at printer/scanner commbo. One printer that I am looking at is the HP Officejet 4635 e-All-in-One Color Printer. While I looks like it this printer, there is one thing that bothers me. The printer has an auto document feeder that is in the lid to the scanner. Unlike its competition, the motor for the document feeder is in the base unit and there is a plastic gear that slips into another gear in the lid to drive the unit. When the lid is lowered the gear in the lid slips in to the gear in the base to drive the document feeder. This gear looks like a questionable setup and looks like it is designed to fail has anyone had any experience with this type of drive mechanism |

When my old printer died a few years ago, my scanner was still good and remains good today. In the meantime, I have a fax capability via Windows that does not require either a printer or a scanner for files I create on my PC. For an all-in-one -- printer, scanner, and fax -- all the parts do not die at the same time. When one part dies, I either have a large doorstop and get a new all-in-one or else I have to buy a replacement for the failed part, thereby deviating from the all-in-one concept. -- David E.

Some of us have to fax things that are not on the computer so a scanner of some sort is needed. The all-in-one machines are cheap enough these days they eliminate the need for multiple machines. |

It does not take a lot of power to pull a sheet of paper through a scanner. |
