I've pretty much decided to go with an HP 890Cse model CS> which supports Win95, WinNT 4.0, and DOS. Sells for around $450.00 CS> here in the US. I was also impressed with the Epson Stylus Color 800. Stick with the HP. I bought the Epson Stylus Color 600 because it had PC and Mac connections (my wife is a teacher and uses a Mac) and was much cheaper than the HP model that did. Up until then I had used HP DJ 520, 6xx, and 855cxi with excellent results. The Epson works OK. It's quite a bit noiser than the HP and also I made the mistake of tearing off the entire cover on the inkjet cartridge (like I did with my HPs) only with the epson you can't because of the vacuum pressure or something and I ended up clogging my ink sprayers and wasting 2 cartridges before I found out what was wrong. My fault but it could have been avoided with better instructions or design. Stick with HP. Easier, faster and quieter. Kevin ...
