Hmm, strange, I have the 850C and I found that the colour deskjet drivers available with ghostscript worked fine for colour. Its a while since i've used the printer (I switched to a laser jet), so I cant remember exactly which colour deskjet driver worked (there are about half a dozen from memory), but some quick experimentation should quickly show you. > Brian > ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) > Richard Jones -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
