Just to confirm to all that contrary to the info Marty was given, there will indeed be a new version of APS releasing soon and that is all I can say for now.

Robert (Panascape) is quoting from my older postings. I reported that HP tech support told me that there are no plans to revise the APS to fix these problems. Robert subsequently reported, and insisted, that I had received an inaccurate report and a revision to the software is indeed planned.
In response to that, I acknowledged Robert's report and assume that he is receiving more accurate information than what I was told by US HP tech support.
It should be noted that HP needs to revise all of its software and firmware across the board.
* APS -- desperately in need of revision as noted in this and other threads
* firmware -- doesn't work with APS and Pro Satin. Other issues have not yet been addressed as reported in other threads. The last revision was only aimed at a select and limited group of papers -- as also noted in other threads
* Easy software -- some users have reported serious problems and complete failures with the install. HP tech support in the US is incredibly arrogrant, rude and non-responsive on these issues -- as has also been reported by more than one individual in in other threads.
The Z3100 is still a work in progress. Only a fool would buy the APS until these issues are resolved. The same might apply to the printer itself, depending on your patience and willingness to deal with incomplete firmware and software.
