I do a fair amount of printing as this is my work and play machine, these ink jets eat cartridges. But not as bad as HP's low warning would suggest, on Dec 6th I got the usual low ink warning. Just for S&G I decided to see how long it would go on empty I put a stickum with the date on the printer, well now on Jan 28 it finally started to print lighter. I went through an entire pack 500 sheets of paper on empty, the buggers just want to sell more ink!

I have an old HP K60 multi do it all, it is good for what I do. I'll run it until it dies.

since dell decided that parallel and serial ports are "obsolete" on new laptops and HP doesn't feel the need to make the 1100 USB capable i am screwaged...

You should be able to find a serial-to-USB cable adapter. It will look like a dongle, but it isn't. I may even have one somewhere, and if I find it (I'm still not unpacked) I'll check with the vendor and see if I can track down my source. You might try www.datatekUSA.com (http://www.datatekUSA.com)
