I would definitely say that the DeskJet (plus) was a good bet then.
Very good printer; quiet, reasonably fast, seems reliable (so far :-) ).
The only problem I have with it is that the ink is water soluble, so I
wouldn't recommend it for printing mailing labels!

Yes, it works, and seems to do a good job, from what I've seen of it.
I haven't done that much with it though (Pixelscript package just arrived
here a couple of days ago).  Seems to take about 6-8 minutes/page, so
it's no speed demon.  It comes with a specific driver for the DeskJet.

Sorry, I don't know anything about ppage so I can't answer this.
