My HP 1510 All In Ones scanner just died and I'm needing to buy a new printer/scanner of another brand, probably a Canon this time. I was wondering how this will effect my HP Image Zone 4.7 When I scan items I normally I go into the HPIZ and press "From Scanner" will this still be the case when I use a Canon product ? or if the Canon has it's own system do I still keep the HPIZ on my computer ? I noticed in the "Add or remove programs" the HP Image Zone 4.7 uses 269.00 MB and under that the HP Extended Capabilities also uses 269.00 MB. I'm not sure if that's allot so I'm wondering if those programs should be removed if the Canon system won't be using them ? what happens to all the scans ?

Well I am sure canon has its own program you wont use hps so I would delete them. All the scans should have been saved to a folder which will still be there. My question is why are you switching brands? I have had nothing but great luck with HP

Yep - My HP Deskjet 840C was working well [albeit a bit loudly], nearly 8 years after it was made, on the day I gave it away to make way for a Lexmark All in One [which was a POS and has since been replaced with an Epson, but I still miss my old Deskjet and it's reliability].

I would check that your all in one is out of warranty before going to buy a new one.

Thanks Dr. Computer. yes it looks like the scans should be safe, when I press Start - My Documents - My Scans. the folders appear, I guess what I was concerned about is when I open the HP Image Zone a bunch of the old scans are shown and I was afraid of losing them, but they appear to be in the folders as well. In switching brands I'm just hoping to lessen the odds of getting another HP dud. mine has been problematic from the beginning and after spending many hours with HP support we were never able to solve the problems, it kept printing test pages when turned on and the error lights were always flashing. the first unit went back for repairs and they sent me a new one cause they didn't have parts to fix it, the new unit lasted a few weeks before the exact same issues surfaced again, it's gone back twice for repairs and had the scanner replaced, now the warranty is over and the scanner has simply stopped working altogether. I guess someone somewhere got the programing or electronics wrong with the 1510 since many other people have experianced similar malfunctions. this is my first experiance with computers and printers and I never did any product research, but next time I will !

Thanks Ashley. I hope I will get 8 years of service from my next printer !!

This dell all in one is nothing to rave about - and they got you on the ink. i took my brain out of gear. is their anyway to really refill these inks ? - all my hp's were nice and convenient too !

The dell printers have had lexmark cores.
Anymore, they set these things up to be disposable. It's a shame, not built like the old HP 4000. or the Okidata dot-matrix printers. Serviceable and real work-horses.
I do use 2nd brand inks when i replace, and readily use the pre-paid recycle envelope.

Hey Ash I have been running 2 deskjet 840c's for I just can't remember it's been so many years, they make alot of noise, and have a little problem pulling the paper now and then, but they just keep on ticking

I have an Epson Stylus D78, it suits my purpose.

I have a HP all in one, I dont know the model number though, It suits what I use if for, but it runs out of ink within a month if I use it regulary, and then the ink is expencive.

I like Cannon more, my friend has one

I think that covers everything about me to be honest

I can vouch for the reliability of the HP Deskjet 840C. It's one of the printers attached to my PC. The other is a Brother HL-4040CN color laser that, because of its speed, is useful for printing large runs. There's also the added benefit of water not ruining the prints. The only drawbacks are that it's really heavy (almost 70 lbs!) and it takes a while for the first page to print.

The general rule of thumb is: The cheaper the printer, the higher the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and vice versa. Have a look at this document: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://w...5NJKZmYFloUQXw

By the way, inkjet printers may soon get much faster: Check out these Memjet videos.

Pretty cool, huh?
