So it's old, so what? it only highlighted the flaws that were already present in most Deskjets from day 1:
1. 180 degree paper path
Not sure what you mean here?
I presume that what's meant by that is that the paper goes down, around he bottom and back up again. It means that printing on things like card is a difficult business.
We have a Brother MFC-5200C at work and that's great so far as printing goes. While the paper goes through the 180 degree turn, you can flip down a panel at the rear and feed through on a perfectly straight path. We have printed on sheet metal with that thing.
