I just bought a Deskjet Plus printer. Wow, is it impressive! I am one
of those people who saw the plain Deskjet (the older cousin) and wondered why
anyone would bother buying such a slow, overpriced printer. No built-in
courier italics or landscape fonts, for heavens sake! It took forever to print
graphics! Useless heap of junk, in my opinion.
The Deskjet Plus is another story entirely. This is the printer HP should have
come out with in the first place! Smooth, zippy, sufficient base of built-ins,
good sized ram (big ram-add ons, too). Seeing this one in action changed my
mind about Deskjets. If you are like me and didn't see what the fuss was over
the Deskjet (besides the print quality), then go see the Deskjet Plus.
Now, if only HP can get waterproof ink--I dread the day my editor spills
coffee on my submissions :-{. Oh well, live life risky...
P.S. I hope I haven't offended you plain Deskjet owners too much. If you like
your printer that's just fine with me. To each his own. I'm just saying *I*
didn't think much of the Deskjet.
