TitaniumLegs 8 #1 September 15, 2003 This isn't a personal attack, it's a corporate attack. A few years ago, I bought what I thought was a pretty good Ink Jet - an HP DeskJet 1000C "Professional Series". It's supposed to do B-size paper, envelopes, labels, card stock, etc. Well, I can't get it to print labels any more at all. It just eats the first inch or two while printing the whole page on one line. It should work fine through the rear feed, but it grabs the sheet crooked, or just spits it out without printing anything. I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with not only a new emulation, but their own print engine without which this thing won't even print, so you can forget using it with DOS apps, or from a non-Windows OS, unless they've changed all that or somebody out in Linux land has an engine. At least with XP, it doesn't need a special HP engine, only now it doesn't prompt to insert a page for manual feed. Their laser printers are pretty good, at least the ones we have at work, but I'll never buy another DeskJet. With any luck, the HP - Compaq merger will be as suck-cessful as the Burroughs-Sperry merger. Bwahahaha!!!! (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.
