Your full of poop Steve! You can buy a new HP that will print
well on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper and that is all. The bottom of
the line is that way. My old Brother Laser printer is this way
too. But I like it!
And your confused Steve. There are no printers sold now that
have a fixed font!!! My old Brother will print a picture and
has done that. I CAN change for paper size but the cheap HP
may not, but it prints in color, which mine does not.
Please Steve, relax and read this list. Your ignorance is
showing!
