I have used a DESKJET and now a DESKJET+ since their introduction. 
I have had no problems at all.  My suggestions:

- Use a cheap printer buffer.  Not only does it free you machine
  up more quickly, it seems to protect the ST from the possibility
  of damage from any mis-match between the Deskjet and ST.  I
  would point out that many of my friends have Deskjets and none
  have experienced any problems.

- Migraph and Neocept offer GDOS drivers for the Deskjet.  I have
  both, but I prefer the Migraph.

- Most packages now support the Deskjet. 1st Word plus will
  support the Deskjet, but you will lose graphics output
  capability.  The two just speak entirely different languages
  for graphics.

- If you have a package that will not support the Deskjet, get the
  Epson emulation cartridge.  It is about 99% compatible.
  The only package I have that will not thus work is PRINTMASTER.
  That is because the Deskjet cannot print on the bottom 1/2"
  of the page.

- The Deskjet's ink is not water proof!  This is the only
  serious drawback.  You cannot print checks and I would be
  leery of printing mailing labels.  There have been rumors
  of a water-proof ink but no results.

Overall, I love the Deskjet.  I think it is a terriffic printer.
