followup--
As for printing, it is much better. Not so harsh as with original driver. On contrary, now some photos seem too soft. (but I will take that over harsh)
But as I said in previous posting, you lose many printing options, even with choices for paper size.
The printing is also very, very slow. Even for regular word documents. (but then you can revert the driver back to Photosmart when not printing photos.)
Would there be any newer drivers that provide more options and speed? Just wondering.
Much appreciated.
