Doesn't this belong in the hardware group?  Oh, gee.. my first "wrong group"
flame ever.  (followups directed there)

A couple of questions:  

How do you tell of a dealer is authorized?  Just asking may not be sufficient
if you recall the Montgomery Grant adds touting full warrantee on the amigas 
they sell (which is a lie according to commodore's mail policy).

Is anyone out there who is familiar with the HP printer and the Cannon
bubblejet who could comment on relative print quality, cost/page on the
ink,  etc?  

The bubblejet has a wide carraige (at least 14 inch), which I don't
think the HP does, but I'm not sure.
