My mistake was leaving it in my daughter's room, and the granddaughters used it and DUST, etc. got to it. It cost about $385. back then, and needless to say, it didn't last long with that kind of treatment. I have a Lexmark now, which I don't like nearly as well as I did the HP, but it was some cheaper.
