Hi,
I can't really answer the questions you've asked, although I'd expect the USB cable to be the printer cable which seems strange but that won't help you will it! I just wanted to check you've thought about OCR and whether it will be supported in your program. That was my main problem when searching myself as I didn't find anything to say a lot of the printer/scanners were not supported but couldn't always be sure they were either. I ended up going for a Epson DX7400 as I found a good looking review, it seemed up to date enough and came with FineReader Sprint, which although is only a basic OCR program, meant it was up to some reading.

Hi all -

I'd value some feedback on the below, it seems a good buy for the money, but
I'd apreciate opinions on it as an all in one in terms of what it offers for
the money, and I have a couple of questions, which are:

It says it has 6 inktanks, and that it requires a printer cable; as it comes
with a USB cable, I assume that the printer cable is required for some other
purpose than connectivity? Does 6 inktanks mean I'll have to buy six
separate ink cartridges for it, mostly what I'll require is black on white
printing.

I don't know what is a good resolution for printing and scanning, so again,
would appreciate comments on what is stated about this too.

Many thanks, I have pasted the details below that I took from the Comet
website, but they don't read very well for me in this email, I have to use
the arrow keys to get to some of the info, so firstly, here is the link to
the webpage, and then below is the pasted details; I don't know why it
hasn't pasted as normal, but I'm noticing some odd quirks since installing
JFW9!
