- What a crock! I have a BJ-10e using the latest driver from Wolf Faust it
- screams. It is NOT SLOW. Output with Final Copy is absolutely awesome
- and the speed blows away any other non-laser printer I have ever used.

- A "pain to get working"? Hardly. Install driver, set dip switches as
- specified in driver docs, use printer. The new driver on Fred Fish 696
- is awesome! All sorts of feature and you can download any Amiga
- font to the printer for your use. The special cannon prefs program
- has options that no other drive I have seen has. Check it out!
