I have an HP Deskjet, which I am very happy with - and the Deskjet+ is, of
course even better.  The main problem is a fairly serious one, and one that
I had never seen mention of until after I bought my printer.  The ink that
is used is water soluble!  This means that if it gets wet, it runs and 
smears.  I don't feel safe therefore using it for addressing envelopes and
address labels, and if you want a permanent copy of anything, you almost
have to photocopy it.  But the output is terrific, and for the difference
in price, I'm glad I got it.  Hopefully HP will do something about the ink
problem.  (Does anyone know if they have or if they are working on it?)
