HP 550 C printer -- color quality?

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?
