[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] How is the DeskJet500? Canon bubblejet?

I'm considering getting one of those printers to use with MS word 5.0.
I'd like to hear what experiences anyone has had with either one--
do they work as advertised?  Did you experience any unexpected
difficulties?  Do you like it?

I don't need the printer to be portable (but the Canon's small footprint
is nice.)

What about programming them--can you encode your own font sets and
download them to the printer, the way you can with a dot matrix 
printer?  (You can with Epson and Okidatas, anyway.)

Thanks.
