[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 171934, member: 47"] Beth, I did come across the Hoover website - they had him on there but I had to sign up to get it an email addy -dont want to pay for it - its out there somewhere, I am sure, for free :) Witz, I absolutely LOVE HP printers - I still have in the office the first bubble jet that printed maybe 5 sheets max - and it still works, this is the first time in I don't know, maybe 20 years, that I have had a problem with one of their machines. The one that got fried was a little home office one only 650.00 (not counting the 250.00 scanner part I replaced). Honestly, I don't think it was made for the heavy duty workload I do - the thing is running constantly, either printing, scanning or faxing - most times all at the same time. Every single person we talked to, and there were at LEAST 20 of them, kept saying, omg, that is so stupid that we won't ship it to you, let me make a few calls. And they all came back with an apology - sorry, we can't get it shipped. And these are the people that constantly come in my office, trying to see me a new copier. The IBM that I have was used when my boss bought it for me almost 20 years ago. Its the size of a small bank vault - and it has worked like a trooper for all this time. Last year they told me I could not get the repair warranty renewed anymore which by the way, I have only used..mmm...twice. The Zerox guy said it was just a weird machine - it was only supposed to have a shelf life of like 4 years max, and they have a ton of them still going. My HO has been threatning to come and take it to their office - they have two that are the same age and they love the machine - but parts are so hard to come by so I guess they think they are going to canabalize mine - NOT I realize the money is chump change to them, but surely I cannot be the only one on the West Coast who wanted this machine..Makes no sense at all [/QUOTE]
