Installing All-in-one

We received our printer yesterday, but didn't get it until today. UPS did a crappy job of delivering our package, let alone alerting us that we received a package. They put the package on our garage door entrance so that no one would see it and steal it. Kudos for that but still, some sort of notification would have been best.

Good thing the printer was wrapped so kindly by the folks at HP because pulling the printer from the box was a chore in itself. Here is a picture of the printer and the stuff it came with. It is a little larger than our old HP 932C, but a scanner and a printer in one makes up for the size. However, installing the printer was a whole other story.

I think that from a technology stand point this all-in-one was easy to install other than the software/drivers freezing during the install and the driver install wanted to print a picture with paper supplied that was not supplied. I am, however, more than happy with the print quality, and the scans offer a lot more than I was expecting. I will post more as I play with it but other than the few hiccups this was an easy install and a great buy.

New Printer - or All-in-one

Today we bought our new printer and it comes in 5 - 6 days. I will talk more about it then, but for now the ordering process was easy and it could have been easier. I knew that we needed a new printer so I began my process looking in Consumer Reports, I also knew that we needed to replace our broken scanner. Consumer Reports directed us to the HP Premium All-in-one as the best and set the price point at $199. So I began my look at HP's website and then I quickly looked at Amazon.com. HP had a great price but it was with an instant rebate that lost my luster a day later when I saw the price had changed the next day. Amazon kept their great price and it still beat the instant rebate from HP. Once we could get the order finalized the long and short of it came to $112 and I will talk the all-in-one when it comes in.
