- I use it all the time, and I love it. The only thing I'd
- trade it in for is a 550C. It does WP for Windows just great
- with the proprietary WP drivers or the Windows drivers. With
- a light bond paper the output is very close to laser...with
- cheap Xerox paper you'll see some bleeding and fuzzies. The
- True Type fonts should take care of extras - it only comes
- with a few faces. If you're in DOS you can pick up True Type
- for DOS at Egghead for $30 - $40.
