The reports I've read on the 4800, which is the 2400's big
brother, seem to say that the B&W prints are stunning. You
also have the advantage of fine tuning the color from cool to
warm and sepia and just about anywhere in between so you might
want to look into the 2400 further. The price is around the
same as a 2200 refurb. I had a similar problem as yours on my
7600 and one of the pins that contact the chip was broken on
the backside. Fortunately I had a week left on my warranty
