Homebrew PCBs

Hi Elso,

Thanks for posting!  My wife has a 960 DeskJet, which also has scanner,
fax.  I'm wondering if this is a similar machine?  The Canon supplies
note is especially interesting, considering the prices of HP consumable
products.  I remember buying supplies for my old HP7475A plotter!  

No one has mentioned using a plotter to lay out a PCB, not useful
anymore?
