There is absolutly no reason to by the Deskwriter.  (Cost > $600).  What you
should buy in that case is:

1.  An HP DeskJet 500 (About $475 with the typical discount).
2.  A copy of JetLink Express from GDT Softworks. (About $85 with cable).
 

This will give you 300 DPI, Quiet operation, Nice envelope printing AND the
ability to use HP font cartridges.  PLUS full compatibiliy with ATM and Adobe 
outline fonts.

PLUS as a bonus you have a printer which will work with either PC's, Mac's and 
anything else your might imagine (it features both serial and parallel ports).
