Hi Elso,
Thanks for posting! My wife has a 960 DeskJet, which also has scanner,
fax. I'm wondering if this is a similar machine? The Canon supplies
note is especially interesting, considering the prices of HP consumable
products. I remember buying supplies for my old HP7475A plotter!
No one has mentioned using a plotter to lay out a PCB, not useful
anymore?
