unpredictably, spend an hour or two going through all the Troubleshooting runarounds, then 45 minutes with Tech support, and nothing works. Then the NEXT DAY, turn on and voila it's working (for the time being).

I don't print much, but when I need it right now, it's NOT connected. It's 7 months old and am ready to take a bat to it like in the O.P.
