- How have they improved the (black) printing tremendously? I was using the
- Epson EPL-6000 drivers, and I switched to the DeskJet drivers (DeskJet
- Plus). I didn't notice much difference. They might be a bit faster, but
- they still don't use any predefined fonts or font cartridges! At least the
- Windows drivers do....
-
- Overall, (to me) they seemed pretty "generic".
