    Hello,

    I am using a epson stylus color 680 with my peg2.
    Works ok with pagestream (set to own printerdrivers epson stylus color 600) and with fxpaint,gfxpublisher,amigawriter.
    But colors ain't to great anymore?? brown is more green a like and it ain't a solid color.
    Guess the printer shows it's age or maybe it's a cheap printer thing.
    What too look for with a "new" printer?
    Printing with pagestream only goes with embedded drivers.
    So epson stylus color 800 any better/newer?
    Or are the higher models backwards compatibel?Like the epson stylus color 980? which is listed in the TP driverslist.
    Well there is one big advantage off old printers ..cheap cartridges I but them for 3 euro either black or coloured!

    If you get printer supporting postscript, then you can use general PPD-files to print with Pagestream :) I got Lexmark E312L laser printer & Lexmark network printing server and copied PPD-file from Windows installation CD to Pagestream's PPD directory... and now Pagestream prints to it quick and nicely :)
