    printer dpi

    I can't imagine very many circumstances where 5760 dpi would be useful if you only had 720 the other way! If you only need 720 anyway, then this printer might be okay but if you want good resolution you will probably want a more balnced combo. But defintely compare output with the same picture...

    Scanner Software

    I can see the files, but they aren't really there! =\

    Have you tried to ADD a file with the same name to the folder? maybe that will clear up the problem or give a useful error msg

    Cleaning up a PC

    Why IS everything still going to disk??????? Is there some practical(for programmers, not users) reason to keep doing this?? I am sick of fighting this problem as a user.

    Yes Ihave both hooked up. I can use whichever one i want by selecting it in control panel as the default scanner. I can also scan then switch to the other one in exactly the same way. Sometimes I can switch back and forth for a awile (very tedious the way the screens pop up slowly) BUT AT SOME...

    Want to use 2 HP scanners at once

    No, They are scsi but the problem is that the HP software can't use them both. It insists on choosing a default but doesn't offer any way to select within the scanning or copying software I can change scanners by changing the default but this is unreliable. I want to scan on one while setting up...

    Delay in SaveAs

    Right click on any file select properties and at opens with there is a change button Select a program with a simple icon See if this fixes things at all. It may not help you at all. Change things back if it doesn't help Another thing you could do is save these files in an empty folder and then...

    Delay in SaveAs

    Try changing the file associations. I don't know why, but when I have a large number of files in one directory associated with certian programs, the save as takes forever to open. It may have to do with the icons or the program. Don't know.
