Barry, The Epsons work just fine with the C= HPLaser drivers. No problem there. The problem is with the software you're using. ProWrite is great for screen display but its print quality with lasers is atrocious. I've heard Excellence has similar problems. I have a couple of suggestions: 1) Get FinalWriter or Final Copy. 2) Get Post1.7, it's in the libs here. I used Post for some time with ProWrite with excellent results on my Epson. Post is kind of a hassle to set up but once you've got it running it's great. You'll need to print in post script to file in Prowrite and then run the file through post's special hplaser executable. The only caveat may be the amount of ram in your printer. Mine has 2 megs and handles most print jobs I have. -Richard
