Hi,

Does anyone have a list of printer drivers that do outline/scalable fonts
for the HP DeskJet?  I know of only one:  Jetlink Express from GDT Software.
As I read their ad, it sounds like it lists at $149 with another $199 for
the outline fonts, resulting in a total price of about $348 list.  With
MacPrint going for about $79 street price, I'm tempted to forgo outline
fonts until system 7.0, but I want to make certain I'm not missing some
other company's product.

If you have any info on upcoming products for the DeskJet at MacWorld,
I'd also like to hear about those; I'll probably go and check them out
there since it's local for me.

Thanks for any info you might have; I'll happily summarize for the net.

Carl

P.S.  No need to tell me about the DeskWriter; I already know about it.
Unfortunately, I had a need to support a PC-compatible laptop as well
as the Mac, so the DeskWriter was not an option.
