My wifes office bought one of those all in one units.
It refused to install the driver without upgrading Internet Explorer AND having full access to the internet.
Never again will I buy another HP product....
I locked the access once the driver was installed and I used a tool to save the drivers as an exe for future use....
HP can take their SpyProducts and their smart chip enabled ink cartridges and stick them where the sun never shines...

Every company does that no a days, I stay away from everything low market end from HP, Compaq, Gateway, eMachines.
I use Dell for any non custom work I do, and they haven't lead me wrong so far, every big server I have is a dell box, even my home dev server is a dell, as well as my laptop.

Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.
Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple

The only I've ever bought from HP is printers and scanners. I've been satisfied to date... One thing though; never in a million years would I buy a pc from them.
Their printers are even subpar, a good printer has seperated ink tanks.. not combined..
This is again for their entry level items, high business class hardware is a differnt story.

I want to say it is a 2700...
It was between 5 and 6 hundred...
Hardly entry level or home use...
I also have a HP2000 Pro...
It has individual tanks and individual heads for all colors
The tanks and heads are smart chipped and even if they are half full or the heads are functioning fine they shut down the printer until THE RANSOM is paid to HP...
Not every company does it...
I have a low end canon $125 (Individual ink tanks) no spyware and no smart chips. It does shut down if the ink blotter is full, but Canon gives you the reset code. If it overflows it is my own fault... Many people reset it 2 or 3 times before they really need to replace it (a $6 part available online...)

Thats why you don't see this, I am refering to most entry level home computer companies, eMachines, HP, Compaq, etc.
And when I say entry level, I'm talking about home user basis, you get a enterprise level, or even large business level, there is a huge difference in quaility.

And even if you do have to throw some ink away once in a while it's in my experience still usually cheaper too than separate inks (each cartridge for say a Canon here costs about the same as a multi-colour HP cartridge having almost the same amount of ink of EACH colour in it).
And of course they last very long and keep supplying ink for out of production printers years and years into the future.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
