jp, I found that driver last night on GEnie and have been using it all dday today with great output. It looks really sharp and like you say it has great control features. The one problem (and a big one) I'm having is the speed. It is literally taking me hours to get a full page graphic printout. That's with either driver, too (PageStream or that "beta" Commodore). I gather you're not suffering from speed problems? I was just reading messages on GEnie about the 500c and not one person complained about lack of speed. I've run Micrografx Designer on my 386sx and got great printouts, too, but speed-wise printouts take minutes not hours. On the IBM, the included HP driver pops-up a requester with many selections concerning the speed vs. quality, but even picking quality over speed the printouts are on the order of 50 times as fast. I had planned on using the Amiga mostly, but now I might just convert graphic formats and print the Amiga graphics I make on the IBM. ……………..Roger
