Perhaps I'm not picky enough ... I have a 1280 that I converted to B&W, but I get so many clogged heads I pretty much gave up. Both the Canon and the HP worked out of the box and continue to work week after week. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+michael.francis=gs.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+michael.francis=gs.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of B.
