Just curious. Is it wireless, Shermie?
I bought an HP wireless w/ the same features, but the copier doesn't work. I've seen them selling on ebay for next to nothing now. Maybe many buyers had the same problems w/ HP's all-in-one wireless. If you're pleased, & the price is right, I may check yours out.
You're welcome, CC!
The modem is from Comcast, and they told me that in order to get a wireless router from them, it would be more money on my monthly bill, which I'm not abaout to pay.
Single-unit printers are increasingly becoming harder to find, as all-in-one units seem to be on the rise. I hada a perfectly working Canon scanner which I took out of service for THIS machine.
The older Epson printer kept giving me trouble every blasted time that I went to use it! Anbd the blasted cartridges are way too expensive, costing me a whopping $80 a set!!! Five of them must be used in the unit, as it will NOT work without all of them in place! That's how they get you!! I was paying more for the cartridges than I paid for the machine itself, which it was also about $58!!!
But nowadays, the inkjet cartridges are much cheaper to buy for the newer machines, saving you money. When I put the next set in that I bought separately over the weekend, I will go buy more to have on hand. i dodn't ever want to be stuck without inkjet cartridges for the machine!
Chowderman, I just got the unit the other day. Are you expecting it to crap out soon? That is why I shyed away from HP. I don't like their printers or scanners any more.
Sherm, you should be able to just pop down to Best Buy, pick up a wireless router and install it. The cable goes to your modem, then the wire from the modem goes to your router.... Comcast has no control over that.
Earthlink said the same thing, wanted $125 for a router, so I bought my own. That was like 8 years ago, nary a problem.
Just make sure your hardware is wireless ready, LOL!

well I must be one of the lucky ones, I have an HP Photosmart 3210 All in One that has been a work horse for me. Can't remember how long I have had it,,,4 years, 6 years?? I use it daily, have scanned thousands of photos, made countless birthday and mothers' day cards. The ony draw back is the expense of the ink, and I go through the ink!! I'm thinking dh paid over $300. for it for Christmas for me one year. I do a lot of scanning of documents and recipes too! I am very happy with my vintage HP All in One.
the last toner I bought was $35 in it does 3000 pages. Now I also have a HP photo printer with ink jet cartridges. They went dry before I had a chance to use them. I think I'm going to learn how to refill them myself. I know Costco well refill them for you or a moderate price. But to replace them all from the store, brand-new I think is about 50 bucks. I'm not sure what laser jet color toner costs but I think all in all the Laser Jet is a better value for the amount of pages you print in my humble opinion. The machines cost little more money or sometimes a lot more money but I've had plenty of being jet machines and I'm not going back to the after Laser Jet.
Kimchee nice disclaimer. I like it! I should put one of those in my signature..
If I used a lot of ink, I would look into a bulk ink system. They are available for many printers. The cost of the system is less than 100 bucks, and ink in gallons is around $50/gallon. My son uses a this system in his screen printing business, and it works well.well I must be one of the lucky ones, I have an HP Photosmart 3210 All in One that has been a work horse for me.

Lucky you!
Is it a laser-jet unit? Ink cartridges in any form can be pretty expensive!
The 2 for mine are only about $49 for the pair, as opposed to spending $80 for a set of five cartridges for the Epson printer!
i have 1 though i don't have the fax function on, & the thing was in the entertainment room, as exxie was borrowing it 4 his puter & i ain't hooking that thing to my 'puter myself- that's jake's job
I have a upper end Cannon and like it a lot. it does everything but fax, and that is okay with me. It does all the other things very well, especially with photos and slides. One big issue to me was that i wanted to print a document that only needed black. No image, no other color to it and the dern thing would not print because the yellow print cartridge was out of ink. No reason for a printer to be programed like that but cannon did just that. Arrrrgg
