Summary: Desk jet good, but long delay between pages


I just saw the desk jet too.  The print is not quite as dense as a
laser jet, but you'd probably not notice if identical document from
both printers weren't side-by-side.

The only bad part of the desk jet is that it pauses what seems like
20 seconds between pages to give a chance for the ink to dry.  If
you generally never print multipage documents, this won't be a big
deal.  If you are mostly a memo writer type, the printer would be a
good bet.

The desk jet's graphics language is somewhat different from the
laser jet, but I have not been able to test this operational
feature.
