No problems, as long as you don't use the spooler. I installed a HP PSC 1250 on an old IBM Aptiva (P266/128MB) with W2K/SP4. Replacement cartridges (non-Canon) colour+photoblack=$6.60, black=$8.30 I have nothing but praise now for my Canon Pixma iP4000, which was cheap to buy, and runs cheap as well. That's the difference between HP Consumer (DJ690C=crap) and HP Business (LJ1100=great). Only expense is paper and a new toner-cartridge about every 2 years. I replaced the rubber 'paper catching' wheel once. According to the counter I have done over 17'000 pages sofar. I could not even GIVE it away for free, so I included it with a used PC I was selling, and got €50.- back for it that way, lol. It has been collecting dust for a couple of years. The (expensive) cartridges always dried up after a few weeks, so I stopped using it. My old colourprinter was a HP Deskjet 690C. I purchased my first printer that was not HP, my Lexmark X5065, or whatever model it is, and it's AWESOME, fast, comes with great software, it was cheap, and I love it. Driver issues, hardware issues, communication issues, you name it. My personal experience with HP consumer level products (mine, family's, and friends) has been negative. I say this only based on being in large companies for the past couple years and seeing other manufacture's products. I'm not going to take the time to research this but, I would venture a guess that other manufactures are slowly creeping in on HP's stronghold on the corporate market. HP obviously has the market share when it comes to business level products this is either attributed to their quality or the ubiquitous 'HP' name.

The Lexmark printers Dell gives away are going to be the lowest, cheapest model that Lexmark offers so what else would you expect? Let me reiterate, HP CONSUMER level products are garbage. Maybe something's up with the power cable? But! If I unplug and replug the power cable, it stays off. Then there's this: When the printer's recognized, I unplug & replug in the USB cable = the printer still works. I end it in Task Manager and restart it in Admin Tools > Services > Print Spooler. Spoolsv.exe starts using up 100% of the cpu. :suspiciou I can't cancel any tasks in that printer queue window. If I print a high-res image, it only does 10 to 20% of it, and goes off. It takes minutes to, and when it starts up, I can print, but as it prints, it stops = the PC stops recognizing the printer (the icon gones away). When I connect it thru the USB, the PCs don't recognize it (that 'Safetly Remove Hardware' systray icon has to show). I've tried it on two PCs (one WinXP SP1, the other, SP2) and it has the same problems.

This HP PSC 1315 all-in-one (printer, scanner and copier) is giving me nothing but headaches.
