Hmmmm, we have had exactly the opposite experience.  The graphics have
been excellant (after we had the service organization look into a
problem with thick vertical bars that tended to fade towards the top).
We bought it at Entre' and they have retained an excellant service
organization for the Oklahoma green-country area.  Getting the thing to
talk serial to the Sun was a problem but easily remedied once we
understood what was going on (the printer only drives the return signal
to +4 volts or so.  Our Unix box wants +12).

We are very happy with it.
