"Don't buy a HP OfficeJet. The Windows 2000 drivers won't allow you to use the printer (or fax)..." Show us a an issue report that supports your claims. I don't have that problem with my OLD OfficeJet 500 and I just checked the Microsoft & HP Support sites and didn't see that reported as an issue on either site. HP did say that they had a bug in THEIR software (not the drivers) I didn't find any issues re: CD290 on the Kodak site either. I think the problems you claimed to encounter can be classified as Error 40.

I use a HP Office Jet G85 with Windows 2000. All of the functionally works. Printing, Scanning, Faxing and power save mode. All using the high-speed USB connection. I'd recommend it to anyone buying a new PC. Get Windows 2000 and use a HP Office Jet G85 and Office 2000 and you'll have all the tools that a typical business will need.

<< I can see that you did not install a lot of Windows 98 apps. Many will not survive the upgrade to Windows 2000, and some will just behave as a non-NT program. >> Isn't this the case with any new platform? I just bought a DVD player for my home entertainment center. There a lot fewer titles available on DVD then there are on VHS, but that doesn't mean I don't like the DVD player. I value the DVD player quite a bit higher than the VHS player and I believe that eventually there will be more titles available for the DVD player than the VHS player. The same thing applies to Win2000 IMO, Dave
