Hello... I'm shopping for a printer & would like some info from the net. Is anyone using the Canon BubbleJet (BJ-130) with the Amiga? I saw one very briefly (in Macon, GA) and was impressed with it's quality. I also like the fact that I can get tractor feed for it (lacking on the DeskJet). A salesman that I spoke with on the phone said that it doesn't have the memory for user-downloaded fonts...is this true? He said that there are some (3?) font cartridges available, but I don't like the limitation of not being able to design my own fonts. How does the output quality compare with that of the DeskJet? I did get some sample output from the one I saw, but it was on fairly rough paper, so it doesn't look quite as good as the DeskJet output I've seen. Also...how about the Fujitsu DL3300? I haven't seen this printer, but the same salesman suggested that I look at it rather than the NEC P5200 (which I'm very impressed with). He said that the Fujitsu is much more reliable than the NEC, but didn't comment on the output quality (I didn't ask). Has anyone out there compared the quality of these two printers and selected the Fujitsu? I'd like to hear about it. Thanks very much for your input.... | //| ' _ | Amy D.
