there are manny drivers to choose from: djet500, cdjcolor, cdjmono deskjet djet500 cdeskjet cdjcolor cdjmono cdj550 cdj500 djet500c dnj650c? hpdj uniprint just to name those from the potota gs-aladdin distribution. And then there is the possibility to use even more advanced drivers, but then you'll have to do some compiling of your own, still on my todo list:) Of those the quality of the code of hpdj is astonishing, a shere delight just to read that source! Besides, it always performed well for me and my dj500. It does color too, but you'll have to add a parameter to tell it to. A simpler road is to choose cdj550. [[Does anybody know the qualitative difference of all the above printer drivers? And how well do the newer cdj-derivates like cdj970 perform?]] -- groetjes, carel
