Anyboady got any experience on using the Deskjet/* with the Amiga. I plan to get one but am stuck as to get a plain DJ (second hand) DJ (brand new for NZ$1000 don't laugh Americans) or a DJPlus. I intend to use either PPage or Pagestream for flyers etc I have 3 meg of RAM in my 2000. I have already purchased DJHelper in anticipation. So any help on which model to choose and why would be much appreciated. -- Keith Stewart B2000 Rev 4.5 2 Floppy Disk Drives 2058 RAM Card w/ 2meg

Bought one for $500 US mail order (compared with list price of $995 for IBME or $1500+ for Apple?). [BTW, dont flame me, I am an IBMer but am thinking about various computer systems. I didn't look at the C= laser printer (is there one?)] It appears that the DJ500 works if I tell WP4.2 that I am using a DJPlus, so I would predict little compatability problems with your Amiga.
