"I am seriously considering buying an HP deskjet and would like to know a few things. ....How fast does it print standard ascii" I tried to post a reply to Friesen%PCO@BCO-MULTICS.HBI.HONEYWELL.COM but got a bounced error message. At any rate, I have a DeskJet, have had one since August of last year and totally love it. Buy cheap Xerox photocopy paper and recharge the ink cartridges with Skip fountain pen jet black ink and the user will be in blissful business. Speed for standard ascii is fast--240 CPS on draft (ha! looks just like daisy but a little light) or 120 CPS for letter quality (very crisp). Friesen asked about ALT/HELP screen dumps. I don't do that. I'll capture the screen first, load it into TimeWorks Desktop Publisher and print from there. The control is MUCH better. Larry Rymal <Z4648252@SFAUSTIN.BITNET>
