I previously used HP scanners, printers and
even (in the now-seemingly distant past) an HP Pavilion. I was running
that old equipment at various times in Windows 98 and/or 2K and found
that when I wished to move to any sort of non-HP equipment, or even to exchange
data from one networked HP computer within my home to another non-HP machine
running the same op system -- there
were instances in which I was not allowed to do so and even began to get
regular and increasing errors, crashes, etc. Upon doing a little
research, I discovered references to an apparently common problem
predicated upon HP's (my blunt term) 'encouragement' that you continue using
their products. Deliberate or accidental? I can't
say.
My own experience, nothing more.
But I have been told of similar experiences by friends and other
associates. My Epson 1260 has been remarkably idiot-proof, which is
always a big plus in my case. But we're into two issues: ease
of scanner use and my experience of incompatibility when interfacing HP with
other products. And like all else in the e-world, I'm fully prepared
to allow for veracity only in the case of my own experience and to accept any
other dreadful HP horror stories as apocrypha...
Best,
