- I have a BubbleJet 130 it has a wide carriage and 136x136 dpi. Wolf
- Faust's drivers let me take advantage of these features which the C
- recommended driver (CBM_MPS 1000) did not. (I think the Deskjet is only
- 130 dpi.)

-
- Starting a new cartridge can be a real pain, you seem to have to shake them
- a lot and after getting it to work fine for a while, all of the sudden the
- ink doesn't come out properly again. After this second session of cleaning
- and shaking, it goes along pretty well until it is REALLY empty.

- I cannot answer about these, but if I had the money I would buy the 800
- instead of a color deskjet, because I am that pleased with the results of
- the 130.
