- I am considering buying an HP DeskJet 850C colour printer to be used
- with an Amiga and Emplant and am wondering about printer drivers on
- the Amiga side.
-
- I am looking for any information or experience people have with
- respect to using the HP 850C printer with older HP printer
- drivers. For some years I have happily used Post to print postscript
- output, mostly from PageStream, to a DeskJet 500. I would like to
- retain this option to use Post, mostly because of the fonts I seem
- to use and the compatability with output from other postscript
- printers at work.
-
- Will an HP 850C except the output from Postlj and print b&w 300 dpi
- pages correctly? (I think I use Postlj rather than Postdj because I
- found it easier to set the page postioning long ago)
-
- Will an HP 850C except the output from something like the PageStream3
- HP DeskJet 660C driver and print reasonable 300 dpi colour?
-
- At this stage I am not worried on the Amiga side about the better
- ColourSmart software that HP provide for Compatibles and Macs. I will
- obviously make use of the HP drivers on the Emplant side.
-
- Any comments and help would be appreciated. Thanks, John.
