I'm running the most recent USB drivers, though I don't use USB all
that much.

That's strange. I would have thought that the postscript driver should
do colour quite well.

:( Unfortunately, from the pricing I've seen here, its out of my range,
at least for the moment. Though I guess if I can keep the Kyocera going
for a few months more I may be able to stretch to it. Whether I can
justify it in terms of the amount of printing I do, I don't know...

Thanks for the suggestion.

paul.
