We all know about the existense of the extra-ordinarily unintelligent Windows printers and modems, I'm trying to find out about *good* ink jet printers that *aren't* in that class. I just had a friend shove that astonishing blowup of a 2X3" pic blown up to 8X10" size, on a InkJet with glossy paper, and I don't like the idea that he can do something, of that astonishing quality, that I can't. Any one know of a really dense (I mean, *much* better than 300 dpi) ink jet printer, that has a ghostscript driver? Maybe I ought to go haunt the Usenet Aladdin list? (I hate Usenet). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C programming, Electronics, 213 Lakeside Dr. Apt.
