So don't worry about USB ports if you have none (you would get no benefit anyway). If I were you, I would buy one of the new Epson printers: either the 750 which replaces the 700 (A4 prints) or the 1200 (A3+ prints) which replaces the EX. They are faster, use less ink and come with better drivers. - -- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE) Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com > -----Original Message----- > I'm thinking an Epson 700 Photo or maybe the newer 750.
