Just (about six weeks ago) bought a DeskWriter. Considered the DeskJet, but the interfacing problem didn't look like an easy one, although there are several third party software packages available. I ended up using Adobe Type Manager for 99% of my printing, and the results (in Best mode) are almost worth bragging about. The darn thing does Quickdraw images great, including halftones out of Pagemaker. I have Freedom of Press, but have yet to use it because most of my work does not come out in PostScript format. DeskWriter carts. are refillable, check out the article in the DTP forum. I use a LaserWriter NT at work, and the output is a little crisper and darker, but for the money, you can't beat the DeskWriter for ease of installation and use. By the way, it does business size envelopes easily and well. I'd be happy to answer any more questions, just ask via this BBS.
