Preduk,
Where did you buy it? And how did the cashback work?
My understanding, too is that HP drivers are at the root of all their evils. I have an ancient HP1120c, 10 years old, and working as well as ever- except that HP didn't upgrade the drivers when even as far back as when Win 2000 came out. Nor did they with WinXP. Since then, I've lost a lot of the background "nice things" that originally came with it.
I read about an HP on sale a few weeks ago from Aldi- very cheap, but two reviews stated that it wasn't compatible with Macs.
And, if they all work,why do some cost three or four times as much as others?
