Very strange that they both developed a similar problem. Anyway, good
input. Thanks.

Well, in this case the printer will be printer #2. I don't generally
need a fax, but there are times it's handy. What we need is a scanner.
My son's in a school where papers are getting lost. He does the work.
We see it go in the backpack. He says he turns it in. The teacher says
she doesn't receive it. For a couple of days we drove to Kinko's and
did the Xerox routine but that gets old even for an out of work guy
like me! ;-)

We want good enough copies that we can back up the statement to the
school that he did the work and the problem is at their end. Bummer,
'eh?

Thanks for the inputs. I don't have any HP stuff here at the house and
no experience with their low-end stuff at all. We use Canon and Epson
mostly ourselves.

Cheers,
