General Comments

We have 6 970Cxis in various locations from 1-2 years old
None have gone wrong. Only one has a minor problem- it complains that one of the cartridges is not properly inserted, but this doesn't affect its printing

HPs website is very good for driver updates- e.g. Win 2k and Win Me. Some of these have added functionality. we have switchboxes to share between PCs and there are no major problems

Print qualilty is pretty excellent on everything so it's a good all rounder. As with all inkjets, it pays to use coated papers for best quality, and remember to tell the printer about the paper in the Properties when you print

    I have a HP 990cxi - the next generation. It's the dog's b's of inkjet printers. Cost about £180. Very Quiet and Reliable. Instantly ready at switch on with non of that long winded noisy initialisation you get with Epson printers. Recognises the type of paper that is loaded and adjusts itself accordingly. Came with an attachment enabling double sided printing without personal intervention. HP miles better than Epson.
