OK, I broke down and bought the new HP550C color/black ink-jet printer. This is an excellent printer for the price. So far, I have been trying print utilities, searching for the one that I won't be able to live without. The most impressive seems to be Greg Wageman's PRINTALL utility, but that was only written with drivers for the HP500/HP500C. What I'm trying to get at is the difference in the abilities of the 500C and the 550C. The 550C can print from the black ink cartridge and the color ink cartridge at the same time. (The 500C could only use one cartridge at a time). Thus, the 550C color printouts need not have the pseudo-black patches where real black ought to be. Also, better dark shades could be made by mixing a real black and Red/Blue/Yellow, as needed. In the clone world, drivers are already available to do this. Is someone out there knowledgable enough to come up with such a driver for atari users? Short of that, does anyone know Greg Wageman that might see if he could be persuaded to indulge in such a project? I think I saw where he had done something for Oki printers, so he may not have done the 500C stuff just because it was what he personally was using. Who knows... Since I am probably not the only person with an atari and a 550C, it would be nice to see postings here about any 550C specific atari drivers that come into existence (or already exist). Thanks.
