I owned one of these and it was a work horse but ended up with trouble
relating to a design flaw.  dust invetiably gets into the optical unit.
In the end, after the catrige ran out, I replaced it with a M551dn
which is a vastly better machine and was very cheap for the quality.  In
fact, it was hard for me to purchase because it disapeared from the HP
catelogue.

the 2605 is still on the floor.  I haven't had the heart to toss it.
