I use OS/2 Warp and am considering buying a colour inkjet printer. The model I am currently considering is an Epson Stylus Pro. Does anyone have any experience with using this printer with OS/2, ie. will it work, are there drivers etc etc? Regards, Andrew Brown

While hanging out on Epson America's compuserve forum, I happened across some threads regarding Epson Germany producing an Epson Stylus Color printer driver that runs under OS/2. At the point I read the messages, the driver was at the beta stage and some were saying it would be done early part of 1996. I get generally good results with the regular ESC and the new omni driver (level 457). In some comparisons, I could not tell the difference between the omni driver and the epson windows driver. There was still a little difference with complex color images that I printed with colorworks at the highest resolution (720 dpi with special paper). I suspect this may be related to tweaking the various diffusion models and color/hue/saturation controls in the omni driver. If anyone knows anything about the ESC driver that Epson Germany is working on could you please include some information about it here? Michael E. Perry ***Team OS/2***
