I'm thinking about buying a HP DeskJet 500 myself. I've talked to the
WordPerfect folks, and they have a printer driver for it (is there
any printer out there they don't support????). What I don't understand
is the font arrangement for it. Courier 10cpi comes built in, and it
comes with a CG Times 12-pt, but I think this is a proportional font.
If it works like CG Times on a HP LJ II, qou can only line up columns of
numbers by tabbing them -- a bummer for me, sometimes.
   Anyway, the DJ500 received an "Editor's Choice" in the PC Mag annual
printer review edition (Nov 13 issue). It comes with a 3-year
warranty. If I buy, I'll probably get a Prestige Elite font cartridge
to go along.
