Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, $99 for that is just plain crazy, when for $25-$50 more I could just by a new all-in-one scan/copy/fax/print machine. In fact, I just looked at some on eBay as low as $35, plus $30 shipping. I didn't buy one because they were Hewlett Packard, and their ink refills are outrageously priced, so I avoid HP (and Lexmark) products all together. I'll stick to Brother, Epson or Canon. I can get those inks for anywhere from 99 cents to $5 each. So, I guess the freebie Canon all-in-one shall remain a stand-alone fax machine and copier. I really wanted it so I could fax multiple pages without the hassle of scanning each page. The Mac is fine for faxing docs from within Word, etc., or for receiving, but a pain with sending faxes from actual paper... *sigh*....
