Hi,
  I use the Canon Color Ink jet printer, which is the same as the
  quadram quadjet (and Radio Shack Color Ink jet, etc) with a few ROM
  hex codes changed. I like the color output, it takes under two
  minutes to print a good quality neo/degas/tny format picture, and
  the color reproduction you can acheive is excellent. There are PD
  drivers available (very simple ones), or I know of this great
  product called Quaddump that you can buy ( :-) it is a special
  version of CANDUMP that I developed for some distributors right
  before DAK went and bought all 25000 Quadrams out from under the
  distributors :-(...I might be making this program PD or shareware if
  I ever get some free time to go in and take out all the advertizing
  and copyright info in it).  The quadram goes a long time on a $8 ink
  cartridge (about a year for me...around 8 rolls of paper). The paper
  runs around $10/roll for the good clay based stuff, but it is good
  for several hundred pictures (300?). The quadram has a pushbutton
  inkjet purge, so cleaning the jets (or purging airbubbles), is very
  simple.

  Sorry, but I thought the other groups might be interested...Simply
  because it is fairly easy to get these printers cheap nowadays (I
  have seen the Quadrams going new for less than $200) and having a
  color printer is really worthwhile if you have an Amiga, color
  ST, or a Mac II. One word of caution, though...don't expect to
  print out program listings on one of these! Too expensive and the
  fonts are pretty horrible for listings...

   BTW, CANDUMP/QUADDUMP is an ST program. There are some good
   drivers, however, on the Amiga that are PD and someone out there
   may have also written a similiar 'smart' color dumper as well.
