I got the 5580 off newegg when it was on sale and free shipping. Great
printer for the price. I had a bad black ink cartridge out of the box
but a new one fixed it right up. I've been using the scanner quite a
bit to scan in old photos to embarrass people old friends on facebook
and it's worked quite well.

I tweaked in to get pretty consistent CD/DVDs
