Well, I've known the guy at wallies for a decade and change, and as I was 
audibly compareing the $40 canon ad the $70 hp, he said he couldn't say 
anything good about any canon he's ever owned, so I bought the Hp Envy 
5255 along with a spare package of cartridges.  When I got it unpacked 
on the table with the hp computer, the wifi hooked up and it auto 
configed the printer & scanner, then hunted around until I found a print 
control gui, and sent the screenshot I made last night to it. At this 
point all I can say is it Just Worked. On glossier paper I can send them 
to the Friendly Candy Company, suitably impressing the frogs in the DC 
swamp.

Going thru the self-checkout it offered me a loooong warranty for a $5 
bill. Needless to say I jumped at that chance for failure insurance.

Thanks Felix.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
