I'm glad to see that someone else has discovered this gem of a machine. Around
this neck of the woods (New York) it seems to be selling well and users marvel
at the power, quality and accessories of a printer that sells for a relatively
meager $350 to $400. I've used several drivers and wound up with a variety of
screen dump sizes but all high quality. Speaking of high quality, if you're 
into Desktop Publishing this machine will make you think twice about spending
all that money on a laser printer.
