yup i love my ESC860 great printer !!!...yes I do use the stc800 because the new 
ghostscript(550-8) did come with more epson drivers this time but dern!!!! they go 
from 740 right to 900..ugh

and i refuse to go through mess ( I tried once and gave up and i'm not a newbie at 
this :)LOL )  of rolling my own gs its very confusing..but maybe i'll try again...i 
wonder how MUCH? reduced functionality am i getting using the stc800?..slower print 
speeds/less quality?

thanks:)
