Just a general note of observation:  When you watch the lists, there always
seem to be a LOT of questions and problems concerning Epson products, and
very few concerning HP.  My experience (many years) with HP is that their
products are usually either the best or almost the best technically and
their support and reliability are excellent.  (I have a LaserJet IV P
purchased in 1993 that still works perfectly, and a Color Inkjet CP1700 that
I spilled ink in and the warranty support was flawless, enthusiastic and
willing.)

We bought an HP all-in-one (exclusive of faxing) at Sam's for $89.00 just
before Christmas (a gift) that seems to be quite nice.

HP seems to work well with both my PC and Macs -- they seem to take
seriously the job if keeping drivers up to date.  Did have an Epson that I
used with OS 8 that worked okay most of the time, but was much more
tempermental, both hardware and drivers, than my HP experiences.

My $.02 worth.
