I see that CompUSA has it listed on thier site for $119 and they match
buycomp's price of $296.95.  Assuming the store in town has it in stock
I gues one has to weigh the sales tax against the shipping charges,
unless they are charging KS sales tax online now?

Yeah, but a great looking printer is worth it...now if only I could pawn
off my HP DJ-600...

I use GS 5.50 these days and I am pleased except for being able to have
GS set the DJ-600 in econo-fast mode to save ink and keep it from
soaking the paper with ink and actually harming the quality somewhat. 
Perhaps someone on the list could confirm my suspicion that a PS capable
printer is preferable to using ghostscript.
