What doesn't work:
CD Label printing never worked correctly, and HP themselves point you to a third party for Windows printing disk labels. Still didn't work well).
Comments:Terrible ink use, uses ink at all times for self initializing. Has "chipped" cartridges. Can be used with refilled carts and CIS, but will forever complain that carts are empty.
Chips have to be transferred to new cartriges for refills.
Cartriges are ink tanks, has removable printhead of dubious quality.

It all works, except I haven't tried the fax.
Comments:In practice it eats expensive ink, and lots of it, although the ink is supposed to be pretty fade-resistant. Go here to find good ink and find out how to refill it yourself: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/ . Think twice about an inkjet if you don't want to refill.
