I've owned one for 9 mos now and while it generally works fine it sure
doesn't build any confidence of ownership. Next time I'll buy another
brand!	It continually picks up an xtra page, usually not too bad except
when it prints half on one page and a portion on another. End one print
attempt!!  The latest is to crash on spooling, possibly a windows fault
only it doesn't  happen with a Brother laser I sometimes use.  An
irritating varience between cartridges in aligning them, this last one I
just cannot get to draw a straight vertical line. Thank the gods I don't
rely on graphics!! Save yourself some bother, go for another brand. Pity,
as I like the physical layout of the HP *jet line. PS. this Deja news
text writing layout leaves something to be desired also. Why can't the
view be 100% of window instead of 120% ??
