I am planning to buy an HP DeskJet Plus printer.  My university bookstore
has it for $617, including the free Times-Roman font cartridge if you buy it
before Sept 30.

I would like some info from people using a DeskJet or DeskJet Plus with an
Amiga.  I plan to do Word Processing and some graphics.  I may someday use
DTP but currently do not.

------ Q U E S T I O N S -----

Do Amiga fonts look any good on the DeskJet?  IE If I use PenPal, or Prowrite
to write a document will it look blocky when printed?  Do WP programs use
the internal fonts of the DeskJet (EG Times-Roman)?

Do graphics print OK on the DeskJet?  Can I do printouts of Dpaint graphics
without any problems?

Is the Better_DJ printer driver really an improvement over the C= driver?

Also, please give me any comments, pro or con, to help me decide whether to get
this printer.  Thank you.
