[pchelpers] Re: new Canon printer

Thanks to Scott and Andrew and the web, I now know what to purchase.

I liked my 'comfort zone' with my HP printer, knowing how to do 
everything without thinking.  This new one will take me sitting down and 
learning something new.

 I'm not excited about the paper inserting in the back like that, but 
I'll learn to deal with it.

On my HP 990cse, there are times each month when I print out assignment 
slips for my husband to hand out.  The forms we use are on very thin 
paper.  I could get those to work despite the paper being so thin if I 
would hold my finger on the stack and click print, ONE at a time 
<hehe>.  Not sure what I'll need to do to get it to work now that the 
papers will be inserted differently.  <And they are 4 x 6 papers too.>  
So, should be interesting to see how this  all plays out.
