I am considering buying an NEC P2200 printer. Does anyone out there know anything about its compatibility with existing software, especially for graphics ? Also, has it been reviewed by any of the trade mags. -- Morris Sazer -- {{harvard,ll-xn}!adelie,{decvax,allegra,talcott}!encore}!munsell!mrs

The paper was squirming all over the place so the copy looked terrible. I finally decided to spend around a hundred more and got the Epson LQ-850. The prices I say were ~$425 for the P2200 and ~$489-$510 for the LQ-850. The NEC P2200 pales in comparison to the NEC P6 and the Epson LQ-850. Usual Disclaimer: I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin'. P.S. The NEC P2200 has been reviewed in a few mags as well as PC Week, if you look for the Jan. or Feb. copies of Byte or PC World, I think you'll find it, but I'm not sure. Caution: I think they said it was OK. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Dennis L.
