- Ahh... a perfect dealer! Fast, strong, wrong... ;-) Handling and
- speed is nearly the same on both printers, though, you have to buy
- a commercial driver for the HP to get the graphic speed
- compareable to the Canon printer with the Canon drivers.
-
- Also, the Canon drivers will soon be updated with some very nice
- functions (256 greyshades!). If setup right, you get better
- results on the Canon... no doubt about this!

- Oh, in case you're wondering, I am a registered HP PCP developer
- and writer of Canon (licensed by Canon) and HP drivers
- (commercial, not licensed by HP). I do have two HP and two Canon
- printers connected to my Amiga right here and I love them all
- after more than 1000 dumps each, though, I don't own a printer :-(
