The answer is YES. I have install and use the HP Paint Jet for about 4 months now. Installation is easy. " plug-and-play " "install the drivers, and use anycolor-quickdraw prgram to print color picture" > does it only work with certain programs? Basically, the printer is a quick draw type printer. So it does not work with program that output postscript code. Also, does it have the full 300DPI resolution of the deskjet? Resolution seems to be OK. I am not so sure what the resolution is. But I think it supports at least 150 DPI. Over all, it is a good alternative to expensive color laser or thermal postscript printers. With about 5% the price of the Laser, I think it s worth the $$$. The only problem with it is the INK ad the paper. You are recommended to use specific paper for the color shake and the Ink most of the time ran out partially. (ex. When yellow is gone, the cartridge that contains Blue, Red and Yellow is unusable because you are running out of yellow. ) Hope this help.
