Hi John et al

I couldn't believe my luck. :-)

While reading your letter in Google Mail, I saw a reference to "Print
Australia"

If you follow this URL:

  <http://www.printaustralia dot com dot au/ProductList.aspx?SaveSearch=true>

You will come upon an Epson C87, which is what I use, and works really well
under eComStation using the EPOMNI5 C80 driver. I bought mine from Harvey
Norman last March, but I don't know if they are still available there.

If you want a Laser printer, the Brother HL-2040 works as well.

Hope this helps.

Regards

NICK
