Eddie,

The reason they are out of the printers business is because the money is not really in the machines, but in the ink cartridges, etc. which is the monopoly of companies like HWP. HWP sells printers cheap, hook you up and get you in the peripherials where the mark-up and profit is tremenndous. I guess this is probably why CPQ got out of the printers business, no good profit in the hardware.
