To get into this silly discussion for a minute, I now have an cheap DJ plugged into a parallel card and my old IW2 on the serial port of this gs. I switch back and forth in slot 2 as needed. (Sometimes I print carbon copy forms in the IW2.) From my point of view, usually printing just one sheet at a time, they both seem about as fast (or slow as you wish). Anyway, for what it's worth. ;-) Bruce
