Perhaps I wasn't paying attention and this was already discussed, but has anyone connected a Hewlett Packard PaintJet to his/her Iris? It is spec'ed at 180 dpi and up to 16.8 million colors (I don't know how those trade off). Price is ~$950 for the base model, ~$1745 for the XL. Sounds like a reasonable poor-man's alternative for color output. Robert Sears sears@mail.physics.lsa.umich.edu

We have an HP Paintjet on our network in a student lab. The quality is quite satisfactory considering the price. If you want to print graphics, you have to either have a Paintjet driver with your application package, or convert your image files to Paintjet format. We are using Freedom of Press, which converts Postscript to Paintjet (and many other) formats. Bill
