Thanks, Ed. Any ideas on how to *clean* that sucker? I'm not sure I even
know what it looks like (although there's a wide white stripe at the top of
the scanning unit).
This is the kind of stuff that HP ought to be able to provide for very
little spent, IMHO. I can certainly see why they can't find people of Ed's
caliber for a few bucks above minimum wage, but jeez, HP, TRAIN people!! So
what if they go off and work for somebody else? You'll keep enough of 'em to
make it worth your while, IME, and the smarter they get, the more valuable
they'll be as employees. They'll actually Make You Money!
Have I gotten totally out of touch with Reality, here, or have the "bean
counters" beaten me to it?
Best regards--LRA

This indicates either dirt on the white calibration stripe inside the
scanner, or dust in the light path of the scan head.
