[btoth]

The software for my new HP Photosmart 2710 are horrible too. I got it for Christmas primarily for my PowerBook to replace our old PC-only HP 722c (which I did get working with the Unix drivers, though it printed green instead of black...)

If it wasn't for the fact that I already sent in all the rebates on the printer I would've returned it. The first problem I noticed was that if you try to setup a custom paper size, the printer will only print one page, not all the pages you tell it to. I reported the problem to HP and was told that it was a problem with any version of 10.3. Nice, it's only been out since October 2003 and the printer was new in '04! The scanner software stinks, looks like it was made in one day. Sometimes it won't communicate with the networked scanner anyway. (Supposedly it doesn't work well with multiple users, but I haven't tried that yet.)

They released an update in Feb. that update actually screwed up the drivers more. Then, this month they released another update. This update added some nice things, like finally being able to adjust the overspray of the borderless prints (something my Canon could already do). However, I still can't print a document with less than a .5" bottom margin because of this known issue.
