Canon BBS (516) 488-6528 After downloading the Windows 3.0 driver for the BJ10e, and my printer is now producing excellent print quality, using the full 360x360 resolution that it is capable of. I admire Canon's choice of the Proprinter as the printer that the BJ10e will emulate (although I suspect that it was chosen for OS/2 reasons). But no one should settle for the output obtained by using the Win3 Proprinter driver. If you own the BJ10e or the BJ130e, you definately want to get the specific printer driver. Supposedly, the Additional Drivers package for Win3 (that Microsoft would like to sell you for $20) contains these drivers. But if you have a modem, you can get them from Canon for the price of a phone call. Steven Lemons
