I am on my second psc500, and only because my first one was damaged by a liquid spill after using it for about 4 years. I bought a used one off of ebay to replace it as I could no longer find a new one. paid $65 for it, plus shipping, and now its been about 7 years since it was purchased. I wouldn't trade it for a new current model. I own several other hp's, including 2 psc 750s. I like them, but still prefer the psc 500. If others have had problems, it was probably a problem with their own machines compatibility. I work on computers for a living, and have seen very few problems with this particular machine. If you can still find one, don't hesitate to buy it.
