Look to Epson, a friend of mine installed one with a close-matching (not perfect) driver, and said it printed better than in windoze -----Original Message----- From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 7 February 2000 1:00pm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] and another thing - best printer? I recently switched from an HP 720 to an HP 880 because the former was a winprinter and wouldn't work on a jet direct card - or under linux very well. But even the 880 doesn't look very good and if set up as MDK7.0-2 WANTS to do it it'll be just a standard HP Deskjet / Deskjet Plus. Prints in black and white :-< I understand that HP's protocols are proprietary and linux likes Post/Ghost-script printers. What I'd like to know is - IS there a printer out there that will print in photo-quality ... at least as good as the 720 or 880 in windows - in LINUX? All I've been able to determine is that there are some workarounds to get printers to work poorly or almost text-only. Thanks again. dave w
