- Hi-
- Has anyone tried to print scanned color photos on a HP 550 C printer? I've
- never seen such a printout and find the demo setup rather suspicious. The
- Bookstore here says that they're not allowed to hook up the demo model to a
- computer to print anything besides the built-in print demo. What you do get
- with the demo printout is some solid color bar graphs and spots of pure
- colors. I'm not too impressed by that. What I really would like to see is
- the result of printing a scanned image of, say, a macaw parrot. Unless their
- marketing people are just dumb, I suspect that the printer isn't capable of
- printing more than solid regions of color.
-
- On the other hand, I saw the new IBM color printer, and they printed out a
- nice picture of a watermill in a forest scene. I think they use the same
- Canon print engine as the NeXT color printer.
