I gave up on HP printers for this type of foolishness 3 or 4 years back. Thankfully, they haven't wrecked their servers. Yet.

Except that it couldn't accept the larger-size 1320 cartridges solely because of a plastic spacer on the door and the coding in the chip. HP wanted people to buy the 1320 for the lower cost per page, but re-used the same print engine in 1160, so they had to come up with artificial means. Jerks. Did I mention that we're not buying HP anymore? This is after 15+ years of me buying *nothing* but HP printers. It takes real talent to destroy that kind of brand loyalty. > My old boss would rate the quality of a printer by weight > and construction. He was right more than 90% of the time. That's not entirely a bad method. For electronic equipment, often the first place a manufacturer starts cutting costs is in frame and such. Big heavy metal and plastic is expensive. So if they've started to cut into that, it means they're decreasing product quality. That's usually a trend that continues. HP's old 9000 series workstations were designed to survive a drop test of (IIRC) 4 feet. *While running*. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
