printer,

inside

looks
: quite a bit more modern than the 1170c.

Hi Larry,
Now she tells me!.................. My daughter gave me this used
All-In-One and now she tells me the scanner doesn't
work..................!**/!!?! "It's good
for printing", she says.........
What I'll do now is hook up my old Umax Astra 1220P scanner (which DOES
work) to the All-In-One. If I'd known I would have done this in the first
place. I won't be able to do the one-button "Copy", but what the ****!
Many thanks for your continued concern and the advice you provided.
Andy I.
