    Most software that ships with a printer is so basic it's worth what the printer manufacture charges for it, nothing. Might be able to make the printer print, but I not known anyone using it very long. We used what came with our first printer for about 24hrs to see how useless it was.
  19. New HP L25500 Is CRAZY SWEET!!

When running both machines at 120 sq ft per hr, the HP had noticable banding which the Roland didn't. When the...
