Hi, I have an HP820Cse on one computer, and it's a Windows only printer as described above. I use a pbm2ppa driver, but if you print 2 pages from netscape it takes 90% of the cpu for about 2 minutes. In other words it's a real performace pig (it's a pig in windows too). In all fairness it does a really nice job, but I wouldn't buy one today. My theory is that some of the HP printers have the words: "HP Deskjet xxx For Windows" written right on the front of the printer, and these are the ones to avoid. -- Thank you, Joe Bouchard Powered by Debian GNU/Linux (Slink)
