The only negative to all-in-ones is if one of the functions you require fails the whole unit is not satisfactory. I recently went from a flatbed to an all-in one and have no regrets. Of course, mine was a package throw-in and free of charge so my feelings may be a little askew. Also, you might want to check and make sure any HP unit you are interested in comes with the Vista drivers. Mine was an HP Vista "ready", but I was suppose to download the Vista drivers; 177 MBs. On my antique DUN that would have required 9 hours, if the connection remained stable. The alternative was to purchase them from HP. I filed a complaint with the HP CEO and received the drivers for free. I did have to wait 10 days for them. DA

Owbist, The site U sent me is great..I looked at MANY sites but none was as good as this one. It did answer some questions for sure. I know how to change the setting to Best..normal & Draft BUT it won't let me change. The dot is in normal & I can't change it as the best & draft are grayed out. I guess I'm gonna have to call HP on the phone.. I don't like to as I can't understand most of them..They are in India. I tried once already & it disconnected. I'll try tomorrow & maybe I'll have better luck. Thanks & if U or anyone knows how to make them active please help me. You speak much clearer than India does :-) Dar

HP makes a good printer, and they finally caught on to the idea of long-life inks. If you plan to print photos or other "art" that you intend to last a long time, research the quality of the ink offered by the manufacturer. Some inks will not last more than a few months before fading or changing color. AFA ink usage, be aware that many HPs come from the factory with "starter" ink cartridges which are not anywhere near as full as the replacement cartridges you buy later. HP still includes print heads as part of the cartridge, however, so when you change out the cartridge, you change out the print head. HP carts are more expensive, as a result, but you don't end up dumping the printer because it needs an expensive print-head replacement.

Boy, Leslie. I agree with those people on Photobucket's forum. Comparing the email's wording with what is actually happening makes the email very confusing and chastising. In case you haven't had a chance to read it yet, they're saying if you use the links that are provided by Photobucket (the ones under your pictures), your pics will be okay. However, if you have something posted on the web from several years (doesn't say how long ago), then they are old links and might not work because they were hosted by Photobucket's old servers they no longer use. Or.....if someone sees your pictures on the web and right clicks on them to get the URL and post elsewhere (bandwidth theft), then those pics will not show up as of March 24th because they were improperly linked. So no, you don't have to modify anything in your account. Only those links (to the actual posted pictures) that were posted many years ago and those that were posted using the picture's URL (by right clicking) will have to be corrected. If you posted anything like that on a forum like this one, where you cannot edit your posts, then those pics will cease to show and an error message (not a red x) will replace them.
