AM> You might want to consider buying an HP DeskJet+, as it has comparable
AM> graphics output to a laser (speed and quality), rated at 2ppm and really

AM> Cost for printing is about $0.05 per page.

The good news is the HP DeskJet+ costs about $650.00 to $700.00 through 
Computer Shopper.
Even with the reported $150.00 rebate that is still $500.00 to $550.00.
The bad news is that is twice what I have budgeted and what I have budgeted
is twice what I can afford.  So for $300.00 +/- $20 you can get:(from memory)
 EPSON LQ-510
 Panasonic KPX1124
 STAR NX-2400
 ALPS Allegro 24

And a host of other lesser known's.  I would like to hear from anyone about
the above mentioned printers, esp how they work with windows.  I seem to
remember somthing about 24pin printers and output ratio or fonts not being
so hot.  Has this been fixed by any of the above printers?
Email or post if you think it is of general interest.  I read this group often.

PS. The rebate is good through June 30th.
