Photosmart 2610
Our old HP DeskJet 760c wasn't printing yellow any more. I tried two different print cartridges and still no luck. I did all the priming and cleaning, and still nothing. So what a perfect excuse for something new.

I was at Best Buy thursday as was intriged with the HP Photosmart 2610, mostly because of the ethernet interface on this unit. This is an AIO (All In One) device that combines Printing with Scaning, Copying, and Faxing.

So there's not a lot of faxing that goes on around here, but every now and then there is an occasional need that the wife has for faxing. It was a little tricky getting the faxing part to work through Vonage (Vonage claim it "just works", but you have to go it at the slowest speed, disable error checking, and use the super duper bandwidth mode), but I got that working.

I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get the other computers setup to print to this printer. In fact, only 2 orf the 3 windows boxes is working. The one that is not workign is having problems of unknown orgin - I think I'll have to rebuild that.

I have not tried to get any Solaris to print to it yet - not sure how that is going to work. Stay tuned.

So far so good - I am finally scanning pictures for a highschool friend that has been after me for months to finish this project.
