If it were broken, I would agree, but mine at least is working now. I ran my first HP Laser, an LJIII, until something expensive broke -- don't remember, but I think got more than 7 years out of that puppy. The 5MP is its replacement and it's got to be a similar age. Origin of this thread was about driver issues, not the printer, and looking back it seems the problem is on a machine that the original poster had upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. I'm not surprised that he had problems, everyone I know recommends a clean install over an upgrade. This is one reason I always set up the OS on one drive and all the software and data on another if I can. > Model T Fords can be fixed indefinitely and some have been on the roads > for 100 years (and you can still find places that sell replacement > parts), but how many people are taking these things on the morning > commute? Speaking of Model Ts, I still have my first printer, an OKI ML-92, that I got in about 1987; don't know if it'll run, though. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
