I would like to start a thread on the new Apple printers. (if this already hasn't been talked about!) I'm interested in a personal/home printer for my //ci. I have access to a Laser printer, so I can bring documents in on disk and print them, but I want to be able to do so at home. The new Apple StyleWriter seems perfect for this, but its new and I want to hear what people say about it. I'm not too particullay worried about speed. Although the stylewriter is SLOW, it is entirely dependent on the computer's CPU, so a //ci should be much speeder than printing from a Classic. What about HP's inkjets? I've also heard that the Stylewriter does not use the spooler which could be a big disadvantage if it is as slow as I think it is. Let's hear from some Stylewriter owners! ************************************************************************** ** Robert Warden warden@grad1.cis.upenn.edu ** ** University of Pennsylvania ** ** ** ** "Even a broken clock tells the time correctly twice a day" ** ** - Withnail & I ** **************************************************************************

Hi, I'm interested in the StyleWriter, but am concerned about the speed. Everyone has been posting that it is SLOW. How does this compare to the ImageWriter II? Second question: I have recently upgraded to the TrueType INIT and new printer drivers on my SE/ImageWriter with system 6.0.7. The result is that printing in "Faster" mode is now MUCH slower, printing in "Best" hangs (or exceeds my patience capacity). My question is this - Is the StyleWriter inherently slow, or is the speed the result of the new printer drivers? Or is my problem unique? Have any others out there tried this configuration?

I have been running my style writer for about a month now and have been fairly
happy with it. I believe that the drivers are part of the slowness problem
with the printing, though my style writer runs about as fast as the imagewriter
II on my SE/30. TrueType seems (not a big jump...) to run faster on some of
the test versions of System 7.0 that I've seen. I have had no problems with
printing smudges or otherwise after 200 pages. There has been little noticible
difference in the ink quality either. Keep ya posted!
