Don't get me wrong -- this is a great little printer.  It's very easy to use and produces excellent pictures.  I was very happy with it when I first started using it.  However, it has one major flaw.  If you don't use it all the time, the print heads get clogged.  This is fixed easily enough by...

Made to the usual HP high quality standards

I need to start with the product ID, since there are a number of similar HP printers.
