- The last time I got the driver off the net it did not support the full
- functionality of the 550C. It did 'all black' or 'all color', i.e. no
- true black and color mixed. This is the best feature of the 550C.
- It's been about 3-4 weeks since I got the 500/500C/550C beta drivers off
- of the net so they may have been upgraded. Does anyone know?
-
- I really like the printer, but I've also had problems using the 550C windows
- drivers that come with it in a win-os2 session and have not found anyone
- with any ideas. :(
