A few hours later, I rubbed it with my thumb and made a huge smear. Someone said you can get special paper to get around this problem. Was HP using the wrong paper to show off their printer??? Other than this, it would meet our needs-- the print quality is adequate and it's probably quiet enough to not wake the baby. I'd hate to have to spend double the money for a laser printer (if indeed I could find one for that )... How do people deal with the smudging problem?
