Has some other niceties that would pacify you a bit. First JLX has 4 outline fonts (Courier, Times, Helvetica, & Symbol) for use with the driver; others are available (for a fee). Second, they seem to handle certain things better (like printing in the internal font). [more stuff deleted] Also, the speed of printing is a direct result of the DRIVER. Make sure you get the MacPrint 1.2, minimum, and read my review in Computer Shopper in January (lead time, sorry;-) to see the differences between the 4 commercial drivers for the mac. Yep, I should have been clearer in my posting. The IIP seems like a fine printer. The problems I was having were certainly driver problems. I wasn't aware that there were so many other options. Maybe I won't have to abandon ship just yet: : :-) -andrew
