Anybody tried using one of these as DVI output devices? Apparently has up to 360 dpi resolution. I expect that one would have to print in bands, etc. I don't have one, just curious. Quiet, no ozone. Sounds ideal. Must be a catch somewhere. Maybe it prints 0.1 ppm.

I haven't seen it, but he says the print quality is pretty good and he likes it a lot. He is currently printing TeX documents to it in a very round about way: He TeX's a file, then runs dvialw to get PostScript. He is sending the PostScript through GoScript which then sends ProPrinter codes to the Bubble Jet. In the ProPrinter emulation I don't think you get the 360dpi resolution, I think it has it's own emulation for the higher quality. For what it gives you this printer may be a really cheap way to get decent output. Is anyone writing a dvi driver for it? (I'm sure this would be welcomed news for our Chem professor.) If so, maybe we could beta test.
