That's one of the reasons I got the pixma (other than it's not HP) is
that I could lose the scanner. However, the scanner is also a Canon. I
have to play with this thing a big more. The one scan I made had white
spots in the dark areas, so there's some sort of calibration needed.
And the biggest thing is that it's not an HP.....;-)

Well, one of those Canon Pixma models is highly rated, though I cannot
remember which. I considered getting one myself. I don't print many
pics, though, so I went with the Espon. I saved a lot of room by
losing the scanner and I got two ports back since I don't need usb on
both printer and scanner. And one less powerbrick.

Finally got my head around this. They were actually looking for key
1, I was mistaking the number of bits for the number of characters.
Of course, after I got the printer to recognize the network, the
Canon software absolutely refused to find the printer and as such,
refused to install the drivers. I added the printer through Win7
which downloaded the drivers and all is now working. Some minor
glitches to figure out, since it is an All-in-One, the scanner seems
to want to scan to pdf only (probably a setting) and there's no
obvious way to narrow the scan down below a full sheet. First
impressions are that I got a $100 machine, nothing more....

Hmm....I just installed in Epson Workforce 600 over the weekend. I
gave it the 64 digit key that I use for any device that uses my
wireless network. Setup was a breeze, too.
Maybe those 4-key allow you to run multiple wireless routers at the
same time, each with different SSIDs. That's just a guess on my
part, though.

I just bought a canon pixma MP560 and I'm trying to use it as a
wireless printer. The setup is a little awkward, but the barely there
manual says that I have to input (one character at a time on a wheel!)
the WEP key. I'm not sure what they want as I access the router
(WRT150N, Linksys) and it actually has 4 keys (Key 1, Key 2, etc). In
short, what is the WEP key that they are looking for? And let's not
start a discussion just yet on how WEP is not great security. I'd
like to get things running....;-)
Thanks...Steve
