Beginning to think that with all these problems and others I have read about, HP need to get their thinking caps on to come up with something that actually works properly straight out of the box! Another thing I have noticed is how plasticy and flimsy the newer models seem to be compared with the ones from years ago..... ah well.......
Have taken a risk and ordered more photo paper and a set of ink cartridges so hope this printer behaves itself now or that wil be money down the drain. Best of luck with yours......
