Vee I don't know if the HPIIID is any more current than my HP DeskJet 712C that's now working smoothly again. The HPIIID is a laser printer that HP slipped up and built to tank or battleship standards. Anything after that went downhill. I haven't seen any of their deskjets that are worth bringing home unless HP compensates in a generous manner. Like lifetime no limit VISA cards that they make the payments. The most important specification for printers is weight. The more weight the more better. If you don't have to strain to pick it up it is junk. Bob AZ
