- Why are these the only two you are considering? Some might disagree, but I
- think that the general consensus is that (except for some graphics
- applications which I don't believe would apply to you, since music manuscript
- printing would mostly rely on music fonts) it is not worth buying a quickdraw
- printer. You can get an HP Deskwriter for less than $400, and the print
- quality should be virtually indistinguishable from that of a laser printer.
