[X4U] HP printer scam

[Jim Freeman]

Robert,

Thanks for the help. That pretty much did it. I downloaded the HP 2.5 
installer. Installed. Deleted my wireless printer. Found it again 
through Rendevouz, and then I had the options you mention and was able 
to set printing to "draft" and "black". Now it prints again!
