Kris, I am using a Epson Stylus Color printer and have had very good luck with it. If you are interested, there is a n Epson forum here on Compuserve and you can read the complaints and praises of the printer. Personally, I have never had better printouts in my life. Some of them I could put under glass and from a short distance looks like a photograph. As far as drivers are concerned, you have three choices for this printer. (As far as I know, there may be more). 1. There is an Epson Stylus Color preferences driver being sold comerically from Endicor. Tel # 1-210-650-4988. It doesn't give you "great" control over the printer color, but it handles the special features like microweave and high speed printing. 2. Studio II has a Stylus Color support. I have ordered it but haven't received it yet so I can't report on how well it works. I have seen messages that rave about it. 3. Turboprint 3.0 is a german program. All the prompts, menus, etc are in german. As well as the manual. The plus side is it handles the special 720×720 dpi printing of the Color Stylus. It also has special handling of the print head and adjustment of color, gamma and dithering choices. Until I see Studio II, this is the one of choice for me. (Of course, I can get by in German which makes it a little easier 🙂 ). Hope this helps alittle in your quest. Dege Pop quiz: Two biggest crooks in modern history? (o\_/o) Answer: Gould & Ali {-I-}

Kris, Hey…I'm a Seattlite too!! Idon't know if you want color or B/W but for about $150 you sure can't beat the B/W Epson Stylus 300. I have one hooked up to my A3000 and it is a fine inkjet. There is an Epson Q driver in your preferences drawer that seems to work fine. there are also other available thru Noahj. For about $550 you can go the Epson color stylus route.

Kris, >>I am looking for a professional quality printer and have been looking at >>some "Inkjet" types of printers. HP Deskjets are supported by preferences printers, and Third Party software including Super DJC2 etc. I have a two deskjets, and am happy with them. Some of the best work seems to come from the HP1200. I saw a couple of Epsons and a Canon Bubblejet in Sears today, and the Canon had the best output. For closer to "photo" quality, look into the Primera Pro. But look around, the technology gets better every day! Jim Jaywal Productions, Inc.

You should have any problems getting a driver for a well known PC printer on the Amiga. Mac versions of printers are sometimes hard to support and thus you won't find a driver on the Amiga (or PC).
