-I have a ThinkJet printer (thanks for the printer driver in 1.3!!) with

	The PaintJet has the same type of resistive heated nozzle as the
ThinkJet.  

-Of course, the

-green and blue (and brown) inks are now available for the Thinkjet (sounds
-suspicious to me :-) :-)).

	If the color ThinkJet cartridges use the same type of ink as the
PaintJet, then don't get the blue cartridge.  The blue fades to about half
of its original intensity after about three month (I don't know what
happens after that, 'cause that's the oldest printout from a PaintJet we
have here.  Give me another month and I'll tell you what intensity it's at!
