I got an HP4250dtn (via Roy and www.hamiltone.co.uk). An excellent printer - pity about the after sales 'help'. I have not had -one- satisfactory exchange with HP, or indeed solutions (from them). This printer is so good, it sends emails. "How do I stop it sending XML emails" ---> "It doesn't send emails" "Urmm, I got the three test emails" ---> "It doesn't have Digital Services" "What are Digital Services?" ---> "Sending emails" "Well unless it has a Little Green Man inside the printer typing away, it DOES send emails" ---> "It doesn't" I wasn't sure whether he was referring to Little Green Men or emails! At this point I realised there was no point in carrying on, and I told him I would ring back to find someone who knew the product. It was only after I put the phone down, I remembered this help desk was in Northern Ireland! I much later discovered the configuration item in the excellent browser help interface.
