Re: Looking for recommendations

actually  the lexmark z82 looks like a semi-decent piece of hardware... it's
based of the same print mech. and the z51 and uses usb.. (parallel scanners
suck) hmmm.... i dont think it faxed tho..... so maybe that automatically
puts it in the nevermind pile...

contraptions.  They are all *crap*,  they do everything, and do everything
poorly, slowly, and unreliably.  But the HP models do seem to do eveything
less poorly, less slowly, and less unreliably then all the rest.  Also their
drivers tend to de-stabalize the Win9x boxes they are installed on.  With
cheap printers, cheap little scanners, and fax modems I'd suggest going
onzies.
