Well my venerable Star Gemini 10 is on the ropes again and i think
i will junk it. I would like to replace it with a TeX-supportive
printer, e.g. >=300 dpi in both directions. Color is a nice idea,
and it would also be nice if it were free. 
   I am currently thinking about NEC P-6, NEC Color P-6, 
HP DeskJet, and HP PrintJet (color ink jet). One question, why would
you want a DeskJet over a NEC P-6? Do P-6 graphics look any good?
Does a DeskJet look just like a laser to you (it does to me?)? Does a 
P6 look just like a laser, or more like a dot-matrix dump?
   So with all that in mind, could anyone knowledgable fill out the 
questionnaire and e-mail to me? I will summarize if i get anything (and
i DO summarize, for those of you who remember the last time i did this)

1) What kind of printer do you have? What resolution? 
2) How much does it/did it cost? 
3) Do you use it with TeX?
4) How does it compare to laser-printer output?
5) Does it support color? Does it do it as badly as a JX-80 or is 
   it better than that?
6) How fast is it in draft? 
7) How many ppm do you get from TeX?
8) Any other comments?
9) Any commments on the printers i mentioned above?

   Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!
