[comp.sys.ibm.pc] SPRINT and DeskJet and Laser Printers

terrell@druhi.ATT.COM (Eric Terrell) (03/28/89)

Has anyone tried using SPRINT with the HP DeskJet printer?  Does the
DeskJet support a subset of LaserJet commands?  Is there a DeskJet
driver in SPRINT or available from BORLAND?

I'm considering purchasing a deskjet (~$600.00) rather than renting a
laser printer (~$150/month) for use in printing a user's manual for a 
software product.  How does the print quality of the DeskJet compare with
laser printers?

One final question:  Can SPRINT download fonts to a laser printer (e.g.
LaserJet II)?  Or can the program only use the built-in fonts?


Thanks in advance,
