You really let one user experience decide what the quality 
of HP's service is or the quality of the Z3100 ?

I get the impression that Paul Butzi still likes the Z3100 
prints.

Lots of discussions with pros and cons and there are of 
course real issues but I think you should read a bit more to 
get a balanced view of that printer and the ones of the 
competition. Luminous Landscapes forum is a good one to 
start I think. Like in many forums the problems come first 
but you may read between the lines that many are very happy 
with this printer.
