Their support used to be fantastic but now they only support if in warranty unless you want to pay for it. Their ink cartridge marketing is down right criminal. No way, and no answer from HP unless you pay them for the answer, to find out how much ink is in their cartridges. Do yourself a favor and trash ALL HP products. If they treat the consumer with disrespect on one product they must do it on all their products. Don't be a sucker any longer. Never buy HP anything. No more HP products for me, none.

A way to install Red Hat/CentOS on Virtual PC/Server with graphical interface on (many people install using text mode and then fix the server, or just use the text-mode). Here I teach how to start installling with graphical on without problems. The rest is just like you said. http://pedrofln.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-install-redhatcentos-on.html I wrote an article in my blog that has one thing you didn’t mention in your great post.

I bought 2 boxes of HP Premium Photo Paper, 4x6 with tabs, and no matter what direction I put the paper in, it insists on printing the picture over the tab area. I have tried different settings. First issue was a year ago; I simply stopped using it for photos (and about everything else; I have a laser printer that is not HP), but today I decided to again with different settings. Same problem. Maybe bad batch of paper, with back of paper printed up-side down; who knows. Out of warranty; no support. Will not buy HP paper or printer again. I will keep the printer until it breaks, but I will not use HP photo paper in it. I don't have issues with photo paper that is not "Auto Sense" nonsense.

I cannot find an adjustment. Any advice? The printer is out of warranty, so HP doesn't know me.

I had problem to find proper driver for ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 and I succeed to install official Dell video driver aimed for Win XP. ATI Catalyst Control Centre will not work so don't try to install any version...it is waste of time. Just take offical Dell video driver for XP and install it via Device manger "Update driver". But with this you will just have working VGA without any additional options like to coonect PC to TV etc. (if someone figure this issue out, please share your solution) For Sound card (AC'97) this driver will work: 6303_Vista_Win7_PG537 Regarding network drivers you can get them via win 7 updates under "optional updates" cheers I just installed Win 7 on Dell Latitude D600 (RAM 512 MB PC2100) and it works fine.

As soon as this C7280 needs replacing, it will not be with another HP!!! This is because of the reasons listed above and a recent fiasco when I dealt with a return of a faulty laptop.
