Hi!

A friend wants to buy a Mac printer. There seem to be the following options
(since he has some capital limitations) I would appreciate any advise/info
from anyone who has their $0.02 to say. Here's what he's looking at:

1.  Imagewriter:- not nice price/performance ratio.

2.  Imagewriter clone :- cheap, but still ugly and perhaps some incompatibi-
		         lities.

3.  HP Deskwriter :- Apparently nice, but pricier than an imagewriter.

4.  Kodak Diconix printer :- I DON'T HAVE MUCH INFO ON THIS, SO IF ANYONE
                             CAN TELL ME OF THEIR EXPERIENCES, I'D APPRE-
			     CIATE IT.

5.  New Apple printer :- Rumor has it that is a bubble jet printer with a
                         Cannon engine. I don't know anything about price
                         or performance, so info would be appreciated here
                         as well.

Please respond via e-mail, but if there is enough interest, I'll summarize.

Cheers, Andres.
