OT Mike, I laughed as you described your trial and tribulations trying to buy a printer. For some reason I always seem to have trouble with printers. But Frys is in a class all by themselves. And I do not mean that in a positive way. Several months ago a buddy of mine at work mentioned that he had seen an ad for a printer at Frys at a great price and was going to buy it. I went with him because I wanted a scrollable mouse. Service of the store personnel was less than impressive, but what was really amazing was the product itself. After getting back to my office, I found out that my purchase was missing both the software and directions. My buddy took his printer home only to find out that he was missing several parts, including the software. He also had some EXTRA parts. So he took it back for a trade in. The store assured him that "this one was complete". He insisted on opening it right there to make sure. Guess what? This one was missing more stuff than the first one! He cancelled the purchase, and needless to say neither he nor I will ever shop there again. Yes, Frys has good prices. But it is not worth the time and effort. Best Regards, Steve
