I haven't used one in a long while but it sounds like they still make good stuff. I always liked that they had metal gears and stuff when everyone else had went to plastic. Epsons were good at going with plastic, even on their higher end stuff. They would strip out regular too. Get a good paper jam, you need a set of gears. My fav was the Genicom line printer tho. We had several 4440s and they were blazingly fast. A case of paper was like pouring water out of a jug. o_O Dale :-) :-)
