SLOW! SLOW! SLOW! DON'T!
I've bougt number of items previously based on A-List recommendations, but this one is a miss. The printer is extermely slow to start up and slow to print - while my old hp5500 used to virtually spit out pages this thing feels like back into the early 90's priting 40 pages at home is a no-no now and forget getting that quick something printed out just as you're out of the door.
