And recommendations on cassette tapes? What? --J.D.

That IS what I just experienced. Why I try these things on clones. Trying to upgrade the firm ware "bricked" the printer until I force-printed. Do not ask me how I did that! Anyways, I may be scrod in that respect. I believe I may cross HP off of "The List" of scanner/printers. Or . . . perhaps I should just get a scanner?:cool: --J.D.

Huh! Of course, I could not find that page when I first searched on this topic. The original page for my model gave sort of a "Mac User? HA!HA!HA!" disclaimer, but my model is listed in your page. *Scratches Head* I will try that out! :) --J.D.

"No camera or scanner connected." :cry: --J.D.

Yes . . . the free/demo version does not seem to recognize the scanner. :( --J.D.

I have used SuperDuper! for a number of years. I cannot say which is better since I had it and not CCC. I will say this--it creates a true clone. Back in the day . . . when we had to walk up hill . . . both ways . . . to get to our computers . . . in driving rain, snow, and 120 degrees in the shade . . . Time Machine would not make a true clone. The advantages to a clone is obvious--I can test things on it--like updates. Should I do something "stupid" I can boot from my clone and use SuperDuper! to recreate my original Int HD. I do not have to look for passwords and receipts from programs I...
