Neutral - I've had a HP Scanjet 4200C USB and an HP DeskJet 710 Series printer for a while. The Scanjet is excellent (thought it won't do slides/transparencies - next time I'll go for one that can), the DeskJet prints photos beautifully but slo-o-owly. The DeskJet does need Windows and isn't supposed to be networkable (tho' with a few tricks it networks reasonably). If you plan to network the printer then ask _specifically_ [HP had their warning that this was not a netprinter in teeny weeny little letters on the box and nowhere else]. Both now obsolete of course. Be warned, if you're going to print a lot of photos then consumables (ink and glossy paper) get mucho expensive.
