"Bother", he said with great restraint.
Gorse Fox's HP All-in-One 5110 multi-function printer has packed up. Reading up the reviews, he should not be surprised... and he guesses, working for Starfleet, he should know better. GF has tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions on their site, in the manual, and from the web, to no avail.
Maybe this is the only way HP can make money by making disposable printers with a life span of 14 months (and warranty of 12).
The choice of a multi-function (photo-capable) printer that includes copier and fax seems fairly limited. GF fears he will end up with a newer version of same.
