Printer/Scanner/Fax

The 2400 xi is pretty neat. It works with or without a pc. It also has a color LCD that you can view prints before you actually print. Has memory slots for memory cards. Just slip your camera card in and it'll read it, without using the computer.

Murph.....When I bought my hp V40 it wouldn"t run on my HP computer running windows XP. I thought ....Great ........2 HP machines that wouldn't run with each other !!!! They sent me an updated cd for winXP that fixed everything...........It's been good ever since...........Tom

I forgot to mention that I have a PSC 950 xi that has the similar features of the 2410. It does not have the viewer for the card reader. It has been a good unit for 2 years. It is hooked to my notebook with a USB cable. When the notebook is not hooked up it still copies, and receives / sends faxes.

I have an HP G85 OfficeJet which is now probably three or four years old and has worked very well. It is a color printer/scanner/fax machine/copier which even does color faxes. The only problem I've ever had was a module that was zapped by an electical surge that was easily user replaceable. I can load a number of pages to copy or fax or use the flatbed for either. Lastly, it even has the ability to fax and copy legal size documents. All in all, one heck of a versatile piece of equipment. I believe it has recently been replaced by a different model number in their line that I've seen at Best Buy, where I got mine. I'd highly recommend looking at the HP's.

Good luck with whatever you decide. I hope this helps. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have a HP t45 all in one. Nice printer, scanner, does copies and faxes.
My biggest issue with these and pretty much every printer now a days is they have taken the smarts out of the printer and put them into the printer driver. I have load this overbloated software package that insist on running all the time. Since I was not interested in scanning. I removed the T45 drivers and started usign the R45 drivers.

I can still fax out, copy and print but no bloated driver.

HP Officejet G-85

Use it in office environment, copier, scanner & fax.. has worked flawlessly until we upgraded to Windows XP. There was an issue with the program and XP, but a call to HP and they told me to download the next higher model software and it would work fine. Oh, yeah... it was a network problem. This is our network printer, not parallel hookup and the software did not have something or another and did not see the PC with Win-XP.

Hard to go wrong with HP stuff. I'd buy same model over, or any other HP (in fact, HP is all we've ever used)

I have an HP K60 which I like very much. Does everything it's supposed to. The print quality of photos leaves something to be desired, but I think that's inherent in the resolution of the machine I bought. One suggestion: Buy one with a flatbed scanner/copier function. Feeding copies through can be a PITA and small receipts, etc. may have to be taped to a full-sized piece of paper.

Anyway, as others have said, it's hard to go wrong with HP stuff. My previous inkjet was an HP, bought in 94 and was working just fine when I unplugged it. In fact, every HP I've ever used, either at home or work, has simply become obsolete, never broken.

The one non-HP machine (fax/printer/copier) we bought at work was a Brother. Cost about $600 on contract and lasted less than 1 year. We bought a $250 HP that now serves as our fax machine and a printer for one computer. No problems in a year and a half.

I should add that I do own a tiny bit of HP stock. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif However, as the guy on tv used to say, I bought the company because I liked the product. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah, but I disagree with that particular guy. I've thrown away 3 of his products and think they have to be the sorriest I've ever tried to use. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Bird,

If it's the same I guy I am thinking of, well after many non close shaves I took mine back too. They gave me another one to try and it wasn't as good as the one before which was bad.
