	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!
