Hi Greg,

We have been using the Epson LQ-570s with the Mac card in several Mac
classrooms for about 3 years.  I believe this is the model you mentioned in
your question.  They seem to be a good robust printer with hardly any
compatibility problems.  In addition, the 24-pin quality of the printer is
a strong improvment over the ImageWriter.

The only complaint I receive constantly from the instructors is that the
Epsons seem to constantly jam.  The tractor mechanism is behind the platin and
light weight paper seems to roll up in the back.  We are a state college
with a bidding process so our paper supplier seems to change with the wind...

Regards,

Bernie
