Ellen,
I'm very happy with my Canon, but it isn't an all-in-one. And as I = remember
your issues had to do with an all-in-one. So why push your luck = again? Hell
if you were happy the HP 6L you may want to see if you can = get a refurbed one
or maybe a used one on e-bay on the cheap.

The printer got fried yesterday. My own fault, it was plugged =
directly into
the wall because the Dell thing didn't have enough outlets for all the
devices... I could have moved it to the Dell once I took off the =
computers and
the modem.
Well, it wasn't exactly new -- HP 6L from maybe around 1998.
Think I saw an ad for an HP laser all-in-one for like $200, am I =
dreaming?=20
Anybody know anything about it? And/or what printers do you guys
like/dislike? (Note: Canon is out a priori, the last one trashed my =
