I was seriously considering buying an Epson JX-80 color printer
for my 520ST. I took my ST to my local friendly computer shop
and hooked it into the JX-80, then I used the install printer
routine to install a color printer. When I attempted to
do a screen dump to the printer, the operating system hung up
until another command was given. If we installed the printer as black
and white it worked fine in graphics and text mode (only black
being printed by the printer). Does anybody
know if this is a bug in TOS or if another color printer will
be supported? The JX-80 is a tempting printer and I hear that
price cuts will be coming soon. If anybody else has thoughts
on this or experience with color printers I would appreciate
hearing about it. Also, does anyone know if DEGAS or other 
graphics packages will have JX-80 printer drivers?
