Just don't go near the HP B8350 if you are using XP.

I bought one and they have washed their hands of me because it will
print the Windoze test page and claim that my not being able to print
from CS3 or ACDSee is a problem with those programs, not the driver.

The fact that the Cannon machine which is also attached to the
computer works fine as did the 1220C counts not a jot.

Somehow this sounds as if it may be due to the program, if the Windows
test page can be printed, but not something from specific programs.
Have you tested more programs; normal text from Notepad for instance?

That would sound reasonable if the problem was only with the one
program. However the same situation exists with ACDSee as well.

I use the Epson Photo Stylus R-380
but it eats the ink when panting HQ graphics

There may be a better one, one point is, the ink costs more (or used to)
than the printer, and you still get the 6 FULL
ink cartages!!

I stopped buying Epson (years ago) because of
the printer heads not being part of the cartridge
but installed somewhere else, and when one of
the heads is to be replaced, the cost is a
good portion of the printer's original price.
