Hi- Has anyone tried to print scanned color photos on a HP 550 C printer? I've never seen such a printout and find the demo setup rather suspicious. The Bookstore here says that they're not allowed to hook up the demo model to a computer to print anything besides the built-in print demo. What you do get with the demo printout is some solid color bar graphs and spots of pure colors. I'm not too impressed by that. What I really would like to see is the result of printing a scanned image of, say, a macaw parrot. Unless their marketing people are just dumb, I suspect that the printer isn't capable of printing more than solid regions of color. On the other hand, I saw the new IBM color printer, and they printed out a nice picture of a watermill in a forest scene. I think they use the same Canon print engine as the NeXT color printer. Comments? -Avery
