[dba-Tech] HP 3820

...I stay away from Epsons and Cannons because the drivers always seem to be
buggy ...they may be alright for everyday type work but when you do
something a bit outside the norm they go bonkers ime ...HPs on the other
hand just keep on chugging ...I use DJ890s on the desk and prefer LJ4s for
heavy duty work ...they make the everyready rabbit look like a laggard :))))
