From article <20059118:41:50GB03@lehigh.bitnet>, by GB03@NS.CC.LEHIGH.EDU (George Philip Bluhm):

	I just purchased a Canon BJ10e printer.  It has 360x360
dpi.  There is a driver on Fred Fish 446 (or thereabouts :^)).  I
am still in the process of sorting out using it.  I am very
impressed with the output from PageStream via PixelScript and
from PageSetterII.  I am having a little trouble with where it
(the driver?) starts printing on the page.  It occasionaly skips
~2 inches at the top (bottom on PixelScript) of the page.  This
is a portable and can be had with a sheet feeder and carrying
case for ~$400.  It is fairly slow, but I suppose that is one of
the trade-offs for inexpensive high quality....

	There is also a big brother desktop.  I don't remember
the model.  It will use fanfold paper (standard) and has an
optional sheet feeder.  This one is in the $550 range.  It was a
hard choice, but I think I may have some use for the
portability.

	My dealer says Canon also has a color version of this in
the works.  Release date unknown.  Price suspected to be ~$800
(oops, over the limit)

	If anyone has seen any other drivers for this series, I
would appreciate hearing about it.  The dealer has sold several
of these printers.
