Not at all; I don't remember any details, but I remember that setting up the scanner was very easy. Vulnerable? Vulnerable to what? I've never had a problem with it, running under XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and now 10. Complex in that the computer has to be on! If you're like me, the computer is on all the time I'm nearby; My computer is *always* on, except when I'm away on vacation. however, there are strange folk who have computers that are only turned on to do certain things, and then turned off again. Such people find the copying ability of all-in-ones very handy. Yes, I guess that makes sense. |

I don't, for the reason I explained, but I won't try to convert you to my way of thinking. When the printer dies in your all in one you have to replace the scanner as well. Right. That's exactly what I said in my original message in the thread. OTOH all in ones take up lest space. And that is also what I said in my original message. |
