It seems to me that HP's software is in general the achilles heel of their
products.  The s/w for my Laserjet 5L printer is rubbish, it's forever
crashing and/or not doing what I ask it to (on several PCs, so it's not
h/w, and with both WIn 3 and 95) and my colleague has terrible trouble with
his HP CD writer.  I would have grave doubts about buying another HP
product; their technical support for my printer problems was useless too -
it more or less boiled down to "buy a new computer".

Regards
Richard
