I recently got a demo of the NEC P2200 and wasn't impressed at all.
The paper was squirming all over the place so the copy looked terrible.
I finally decided to spend around a hundred more and got the Epson LQ-850.
The prices I say were ~$425 for the P2200 and ~$489-$510 for the LQ-850.

The NEC P2200 pales in comparison to the NEC P6 and the Epson LQ-850.

Usual Disclaimer: I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin'.

P.S. The NEC P2200 has been reviewed in a few mags as well as PC Week, if
you look for the Jan. or Feb. copies of Byte or PC World, I think you'll
find it, but I'm not sure. Caution: I think they said it was OK.
