None of the FAQs say this, but the Epson Stylus works great with
the Epson LQ drivers in the Harmonie package of printer drivers
(contact Joe Kohn at http://www.crl.com/~joko/ ).  You'll want to
use the 56.7kbps serial port driver and set your dpi to 360.  The
printed output is 360x360dpi.

How good is it?  Frankly, the quality is better than I've seen
from any HP DeskJet/DeskWriter _or_ Canon BJ/C using the Harmonie
drivers.

GS users that are in the market for a laser quality ink-jet printer
should consider the Epson Stylus.  This information should go into
the FAQs.  Joe Kohn should consider adding the Stylus line to the
list of compatible printers on his web site.
