I Agree. But it might change... ;) I read the following on MacInTouch :

June 10 1997

MacWarehouse lists the upcoming Color StyleWriters [picture] with prices. The
Color StyleWriter 4500 reportedly supports AppleTalk and prints a color photo 
at the highest quality setting on a mid-range Power Mac in about 15
minutes. The HP equivalents are as follows: 

   Apple Color StyleWriter 4100: HP DeskWriter 660C 
   Apple Color StyleWriter 4500: HP DeskJet 690C 
   Apple Color StyleWriter 6500: HP DeskJet 870Cxi 

I think this is good news for Apple II users. No need to get a parallel
card or serial-parallel converter!

I read in April 97 GenieLamp that Bill Heinemann would fix some bugs in
the Harmonie drivers he wrote. I can't remind if he was going to add
AppleTalk support. I bought those HP drivers directly from Vitesse some
years ago. Does anybody know when the update drivers are delivered?
