Very good photo output too!

I think it also has a choice of USB or Parallel output ports as well, very good for Printing from SVista. Saw it in Tandy's for $140.00, but maybe it's come down now. >Very good photo output too! >Cheers, >Paul. Merry Christmas & happy New year to you, Paul, and everyone at OS2 Org!

Looks like the same deal they did last year. I bought mine for $98 at Dick Smiths (= Tandy now anyway), and I most liked the sep black ink tank, so I don't waste colour ink by replacing the one tank. Compatible ink tanks are good value - $24 black $48 colour > >I think it also has a choice of USB or Parallel output ports as well, very >good for Printing from SVista. Saw it in Tandy's for $140.00, but maybe >it's come down now. Agreed but I use it on parallel. >>Very good photo output too! Yes, but you do need some solid paper for best results. Std 80gsm copy paper is barely, sorta OK for a quick check, but it's too translucent to do a good job. We found it was worth investing in quality paper for quality jobs. But then, OS/2ers already recognize this basic fact of life. Merry Christmas to all.

It is a very good USB printer for OS/2 or ECS. I also got it working under winos2. Just install the epson 880 stylus color model it is compatible.
