The driver might be there, but the Photoshop Export Module isn't. I made
these enquiries myself a few months back, and could find nothing to help
me export from XP to my 8600.
I ended up networking a Win98 box to my new XP set up and printing from
there (though Photoshop).
More recently I have bought the new 8500. Nothing like as expensive as
the 8600/Colorease printers were. And if you do your sums you can work
out how quickly it will pay for itself with the lower cost media, *And*
you get a choice of glossy or matte!
