I've seen ads for the HP DeskJet printer and have even wandered into
a local Computer Store and looked at one.  The print quality of the demo was
fairly nice, and I liked the matte quality of the print (unlike the usually
shiny quality that laser printers print).

My question is this:
	Has anyone out there in NetLand actually used one of these printers
	with either Ventura or PageMaker (under MS-DOS, if it makes a
	difference)?  The ads don't promise total compatability with
	anything - either they say "compatable with most ... applications"
	or something similar.  I can't even find out if the Epson FX-80
	emulator cartridge is 100% (or even less) Epson FX-80 compatable.

	If so, how does it do on text mixed with graphics or scanned &
	cropped half-tones?

	If not, thanks anyway.
