Hi William:

This is a small business printer. HP SMB had it on sale for $750. Normally
about $900.
The unit I am installing it on has a AMD 3000 processor. Running Win 2000
Pro. I actually prefer 2000 over XP. Vista, I will not even try for at
least 1 year on my units. I found the IP and tried the install, no luck. I
had already tried it with the Hostname.
