No Gary, if it only works once in a while, then mine is better than yours
(at this time)!! If you happen to run across one that is good and I can use
it, please let me know.

You were promised ME? By whom? And why?
In any case, it won't help your find a printer. If they don't have Win98SE
drivers, they don't have ME drivers.

Your information is woefully wrong. There is nothing about ME that makes it
the least bit similar to Win2000 when it comes to hardware.
And when it comes to HP printers, my experience (including the experience of
my clients) is that they are generally more dependable than most.
As for your problem with the camera, after reading your posts over the last
several weeks, my guess would be that it was purely a user error -- you
bought the cheapest camera you could find and then wondered why it turned
out to be a POS. It's a measure of your intelligence (or rather, lack
thereof) that you think this was HP's fault.

This is a common fault for printers and is easily fixed. In fact, the
manufacturer probably has a kit with user-installation instructions
available - certainly HP used to have them. It involves replacing a small
soft pad that is used to apply pressure to the sheets for gripping. Because
it's a soft pad, it goes soggy after years of use.

Hi Gary,
I think it was 2 Christmas's ago. He got a new XP for Christmas from his
son. He was going to take all his files off it. The last time I spoke to him
about it he did not have his files off it. That was sometime last year. He
is a Homeopathic Practitioner I know and I go to the meetings with him
Because I do not drive at night. The next meeting I go to I will ask him
again and see what he says. I think it has a printer with it, not sure.
