Last year, after at least ten years of devotedly reliable service from our IIIP we succumbed to the temptations dangled before us by a stylishly compact HP ink-jet color printer-fax-scanner combo at our local office suply superstore. And we love having the color option, as well as its other talents, but have never been able bring ourselves to part with our IIIP, and find ourselves using it regularly as well.
