Very nice, quite fast and to my eyes the quelity is better than that from a DJ500, but that might be subjective >since I own the BJ-200 and my brother the DJ500 :-) > >The DJ-200 wan't packed with a Windows driver, but the dealer here copied >a driver disk for me. The driver on it seems OK. After standing before HP deskjet 500 and BJ-200 for an hour, I bought BJ-200 and I am quite happy with the choice. BJ-200 has a better DPI (360x360 vs. 300x300), more compact, faster, and cheaper by about $50. However, a lot of people were purchasing HP deskjet 500c by paying about $150 more than BJ-200 and about $100 more than HP deskjet 500.
