Plan 'B', get a USB cable, un-install the parallel version and install the USB. After eleven attempts at installing the printer to the USB, i fanally got it going by finding the required drivers hidden behind five obscurely named ...
...not install the full required drivers for the USB version of the printer, so for anyone new to computers, you don't stand a chance. Once installed the supplied software, i must admit, is very easy to use with the faxing taken care of by a lite version of WinFax.

The HP 710 is a multi-function printer, scanner, copier and fax. My belief has always been that, unless you spend an awful lot of money, equipment like this tends to be versatile but not terribly efficient. So how does the HP 710 shape up?

Also, my Fax option/program on my Compaq lemon has never worked so I knew this Multipass would solve all my problems. ~~~~~ I have been using the same Hewlett Packard printer for almost four years and, though it still prints well, the HP printer uses a lot of very expensive ink. The cartridges are $30.00 US and they aren't that big anymore and I go through one every two months. So I decided to shop around ...
...the Canon C20 Multipass, I knew that I wanted it. It has a sleek design and looks great. The function buttons are clearly marked and simple to understand and operate.

This HP T45 offers a front loading tray for all of your fax, scanning, ...
...has finished scanning. With the HP software that is included you can take the scanned document and do some minor adjustments or you may just save it and work on it through another program.
