HP PSC 2400 photosmart software> install not complete

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Just to add to the confusion, Canon is coming out with a new line of
printers. That explains all the rebates on the current line. You can get the
i960 at Best Buy for $170.00 plus a $20 gift card. Not a bad deal. I'm still
using a i850 and can't decide to upgrade or not
