I tired calling HP again (out of sheer desperation). I was extremely impatient at the incompetence demonstrated by the HP "technician" and asked her point blank, "Do you or do you not know ANYTHING about this product". She kind of stammered and said, "I don't know anything. You have to pay an additional charge if you want tech support." So there you have it from the horses mouth. The "technical support" people you contact are there only to take your credit card number and ony then will they transfer you to the experts. On a side note I called a Staples in my area and talked to one of their associates. I explained the problem (see above for details) and he immediately explained what the problem was. (I forget the name of the part but the light source that moves back and forth under the glass, was broken which clearly explains why it will print from the computer but won't copy). It's pretty sad when some guy making maybe $12/hour can give better tech support than a multi-million dollar corporation. You folks can consider yourself warned: Buy HP and they WILL abandon you!
