I DO NOT RECOMMEND HP MULTI-FUNCTION INKJETS!!!!!!!!!<br><br>The latest crop of HP inkjets have expiring ink. If you have an expensive enough model (i.e. with a network card) you can set the date back a year or so and get around it. I ran with that for a while until one of the ink tanks really did run out. About 3 months after replacing it, it leaked all into the working of the ink pump and ruined the printer. Parts only repair cost is about the price of a new Brother color laser all-in-one.<br>
<br>I have a Brother Color Laser and it's a great device. I don't expect to get another muli-function printer any time soon. If I do, it will NOT be another HP. The one I have gave 4 years of occasional use but it took 3 replacements under warraty to get that far. The first one was DOA. The second went dead after 2 weeks. The third one would not recognize the keyboard (EXPENSIVE printer!). The fourth one did not recognize the ink tanks until I replaced them. The new ones had the extra contact to allow an expiration date to be read. At $38 each for 4 tanks I was very disatisfied. <br>

-- Hi, All<br>
I have had a HP 2700 series printer for occasional use. It died!<br>
'Will not power up. Spent a hour or so with HP tech support and they<br>
said buy a new printer. Looks like this may be at hand. It's not that<br>
they haven't had this problem before:<br>

<br>
So what my question is.... Has anyone had good luck with a 4in1 printer<br>
and what Brands, Just work???<br>
<br>
My S/O has used a hp Laserjet 5 for ~10 years-- Tens of Thousands of<br>
pages. So having this HP crap out spoils that image... with only a<br>
few hundred prints..<br>
<br>
TIA, Jack<br>
