HP may be a very good guess on your flasher. We haven't had much problem with our "professional grade" HP stuff, but the consumer class inkjet/scanner/multipurpose on Lin's machine insisted on loading a bunch of "automatic duzitalls" and persists in attempting to call home to look for more junk to foist on us. It's almost annoying enough to trash the printer and get a real one, but we got it 'cause it's small enough to toss in the camper when we go festivate.
