Sadly, the PostScript emulation is none too good, although it is a lot better than Brother's. The EX engine was also used in the Pro 630 and an enhanced EX was used in the 16/600. I've not had a PS job fail on the 16/600 or the Pro 630, but even apparently simple PS jobs can fail on an HP 4M. Repair parts for EX marking engine printers are quite easy to obtain, and the printer is more modular than the already very modular SX marking engine (LW II/LJII). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
