Apology accepted. BTW I actually agree with your sentiments if not your
language, the starter cartridge game is not one that I am comfortable with.

This many people have clogged heads on HP inkjets printers that require
this much attention? Sure makes me glad I own an Epson!

Jim <jen....not....home..remvdots...@....yahoo

I've used color printers since the early days of dot matrix and rainbow
ribbons. Courtesy of uncle sam, experience was gained with wax transfer,
color lasers, and various ink jet and bubble jet printers.

Conclusions-
Home use Canon printers produced the best overall results for home use. HP
led the others in the Office market.
Small business can go either way, depending on printing volume.
Epson good printers, higher ink costs, "chipped" ink tanks
Lexmark High ink costs, driver problems
Brother High ink costs, driver and application problems with multifunctions.
(Multifunctions seem to be a problem area for more than one Mfr.)

I currently own Canon S750, Epson R300M, Brother 720CN, HP612, Panasonic
multifunction black Laser, Epson 3250 dot matrix, and a dead Canon 620(head
failed, and costs more than a replacement printer of better print quality).
An old Epson MX80 is still around somewhere, but has a bad interface. The
Panisonic has a replacement drum and toner cost higher than the original
cost of the printer. A previously owned Canon S600 went to my daughter and
her husband when an older HP inkjet failed.

If you look hard on the web you will find a site that will teach you how
to use your keyboard and will enable you to post in lower case as well as
