Hi, I have an IBM Color Jetprinter 3852-2 and was taking a look at the manual with regards for setting up colours for printing. Well, from what I can tell, this printer only supports 8 colors (Black, Blue, Red, Magenta, Green, Cyan, Yellow, and Neutral(White)). Since this printer has the same engine as the Canon PJ-1080A, I would like to know if the Canon model supports the same basic colors and the printer driver has to pull some form of tricks to get more colours from the Canon, or does the Canon have commands for supporting more colors? I would really like to know if this IBM printer can get the same results that the Canon version is capable of or not. If it isn't, I will take this printer back, and get the Canon printer from another store. Tnx in advance (again), Kelly
