I've noticed an odd thing with T.R. reviews over a long period of time...

When reviewing a TV set, reviewers frequently describe how they tweaked the TV's settings to obtain a pleasing image quality - and the range of adjustments available.

Yet with printers / all-in-ones / MFDs it seems as though default driver settings are as far as things go - no time or effort seems to go into determining whether the printer / scanner can produce better results than the default settings allow - or in communicating to the public, what range of controls are available - or how effective they might be.

I personally believe that your target readership are tech-savvy enough to experiment with drivers settings (which are usually far more intuitive than the picture adjustment menus on modern TVs!) - and would really value a littel more detail and depth in this respect.

Afterall, what's the point in buying a multi-functional product with great features, if you're not going to dig around in the driver to make use of these, otherwise latent, capabilities?

Does HP have a patent on front loading printers? I hate paper at the back of the printer as you can't push it up against the wall. It really limits my choices. What are the advantages of the paper going in at the back when you already have have the paper coming out of the front. It makes no sense to me...

@Joe - Front loading means the paper usually has to run around a fairly small diameter roller, which can cause problems with heavy-weight stock, like quality photo paper. Rear loading gives a much straighter path.

Bit late, but I'm only just looking for something like this.
