I've heard in the past that the only real difference between the Deskwriter
and Deskjet is the software driver and outline fonts made especially for the
Mac.  On the other hand, I understand that many people are choosing to use
Adobe Type Manager and its nice/growing collection of well maintained outline
fonts instead of those provided by HP.  Achieving greater consistency between
screen display to printer as well as across different printer makes.

If this is the case, then wouldn't it be financially advantageous to just get
a Deskjet and ATM?  Plus whatever choose document (MacPrint, Grappler, PD, ?).

If anyone has such a set up, I'd like to hear from you.  If someone knows
why the above won't work perfectly, I'd also like to hear from you.

Thanks,
