My HP DeskJet 500 prints my thesis at an average of 35 seconds per page, which ranks right up with supposed 4ppm cheap laser printers (which I find typically can't print anything but blank pages in 15 seconds). And the DeskJet is certainly no noisier than a laser printer! Plus, no obnoxious fumes. And print quality really is 300 dpi on the DeskJet. To be fair, there is one downside: You have to try different brands of paper to find one that gives the best quality. Laser printers are much less fussy about the type of paper they are fed. I have no connection to HP, I'm just a happy user. - Paul Colley University: colley@qucis.queensu.ca Home: pacolley@ember.uucp watmath!ember!pacolley +1 613 545 3807 "Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of" - Ken Burnside
