OT - switching from oki590 color to epsonc84

[John Esak]

Dan,
I'm going to offer a suggestion that is exactly NOT what you want to hear.
I have nothing to offer re the OKI stuff, sorry.  But, if it comes down to
replacing the hardware.... do yourself a favor... get a network ready
HP-2300 Business Inkjet.  It will solve all your problems. Be much faster
than the oki... no need for a new serial card.  It has a huge duty cycle,
and it can print PCL-5 stuff from filePro so your forms will look great...
*and* have color if you want it.

I know it isn't the response you wanted... but it's the best advice I can
give.


John
