HI Investor2; Printer took some tweaking..but I like it ! got the 5s scanner also, getting them both gives me the $170 rebate..( ends this month) makes the scanner cost $29. :-) Does a good job on color photos, but to print them right you need to use the special photo paper, it must have a coating on it. You can use regular paper for regular jobs. Printer comes with a photo cartridge, as well as color and Black..nice set up for $298 net..and the OCR ! Years ago I tried OCR and it was a mess..but they have sure improved that..scan in a regular page..hit a button..and into Word in a flash..with only a few mistakes. Huge improvment my wife loves the OCR part. She can bring home hard copy stuff from work, were they don't have it on disk, and that they need to changed or make it into a Doc file..scan it in click click; correct a few mistakes and presto. But it did take some tweaking to get it all running right, you need to have better than average set up skills. I put in the wrong editor for the OCR and it would not give me a chance to change it. So I hunted down the .ini file and edited it to reflect the right one, rebooted and it worked fine. Also I seldom pay mind to the "close other programs" message when running a set up. Now I know why they want you to do that ! Win95 bloatware can get things mixed up real easy if you have open programs during set-up. It scambled some files and I had to unistall and re-install thanks to that. But it's all cooking now and I do Like it. republic.net Jim
