Like some others who have commented on this topic, I have a DeskJet (a Plus in my case). Generally it is fine, as others have said. However, I do find one drawback not noted by others. This is that the output is somewhat on the faint side; much more so than what I get from a LaserJet. This is not inherent in the printer, since it can print very dark black areas. So I assume the problem is that TeX's fonts should be blacker for the DeskJet than for the LaserJet. Presumably this could be fixed by generating new fonts with Metafont; but I've never messed with that. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Better yet, has anyone generated fonts that give blacker output? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Maher Department of Philosophy p-maher@uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
