Martin,
I'm using a Canon i860 with the OMNI driver, and getting fairly good
results. I had an Epson C84 (as I recall), which started having print
head problems. When shopping for a replacement, I read that the Canon
printers are generally less costly for ink supplies than the Epsons.

I don't know whether the Canon i8nn family is still an available choice.
I think I read that someone somewhere was using one of Canon's fancier
printers - a Pixma model - on OS/2, but some of the features like
duplexing are not available, and I don't recall which driver was being used.

You might want to search the comp.os.os2. newsgroups, or post a new
inquiry there.
