I'm interested in buying a printer for a laptop. Can someone give me some information about the canon bubble-jet printer? What are the software packages with which it works? Do you need/can you take advantage of ATM? How does this compare with the HP Deskjet? -Doug (doug@chorus.fr) P.S. Sorry if these questions are a bit fundamental.

I have the Cannon BJ-10e which I use with my Toshiba T1000SE laptop, and I love it. So far, I have not been able to find any software which directly supports the bj10e, but it emulates the ibm proprinter xl24e or something. I haven't found any software yet that I can't use with my printer, but it would be nice to find a program that can take advantage of the print quality. The printer is great if you don t have a lot of room to keep a printer and if you want a quiet printer. I prints with really good quality, and depending what software you use with it I think it is near the output of the HP deskjet. If you want more details, call 1 800 848 4123 and Cannon will send you a nifty little pamphlet about it. Hope this helps.

There is a Microsoft Windows 3.0 driver for the BJ-10e, which works great
with both Word for Windows and Ami Pro. Also, Adobe Type Manager works
great -- PostScript fonts, on the road.
The bad news is that I wouldn't recommend Windows for anyone with less
than a 16 MHz 386, 3 MB of memory, and 40 MB of disk. You can run it
in less, but be happy in less -- I don't know.
