Is the HP PSC 2510 a Good All-In-One?

[Snow White]

As Lavode said - Take a good look and decide.  Do the research you are 
now and come down to a couple different models from anyone that fit 
you.  You want ethernet connectivity, then make sure your products all 
have it, etc, etc.

Then go down to your local store with your new ibook and plug in and 
test them.  How easy was it to DL the driver or PPD? Did it connect 
right away and work?  Take some photos (or a photo) and scan/print - 
how close is the colour to the original?  Does it have PostScript II or 
III?  Does it scan 8.5 X 11?

Once you decide - don't regret it - ever.  You did your best and that's 
it.  Buy something else in 6 or 8 years, when this choice is old.

Many people use/like All in Ones but traditionally they had shortfalls 
in something or another.  But I may be living in the past here.  The 
technology on this stuff is cheaper, so the products do a better job 
now.  To each their own.
