And indeed, our M does V... The HP hardware still seems pretty solid, but the software that gets installed with their hardware is junk, and we gave up on HP products many years ago. I would reconsider them if they changed their software policies, but of course since I no longer install HP stuff I will never know when that happens. In the meantime, we have found Dell printers to be a good choice overall; I myself have a Brother that suits me just fine, but I don't know how that purchasing decision got made (it was an extra that just happened to be on hand when I needed it). -- dkm At 9/7/2010 12:06 PM Tuesday, Scott Smith wrote: >I have always loved HP’s, and have used them for >more than 25 years.
