   I have been useing the cartridge for several weeks now. The
printer doesn't seem to have any problems, almost all my software
does however.
   Word for windows in the WYSIWYG mode shows the correct
page layout, but when you print there is extra space between any
line that contains a zingbat and the following line. There work-
around was to add a non-breaking space. It dosn't work. No fix 
in version 1.1 either. 
   Drafix CAD for windows prints some solid lines in what looks 
like 75dpi. Lots of white spaces between dots.Drafix takes about
3 hours to print useing PCL and about 45 min. useing Postscript.
   The program to auto switch between PCL and Postscript
would switch from Postscript to PCL in the middle of a postscript
download. 
   It usees lots of disk space. You still need the font outlines
to make screen fonts. The screen fonts still usea lot of disk space.

   All considered, I am happy with my purchase.
