I'm the proud new owner of an HP DeskJet Plus printer and I think I'll be
pleased with it.  I find though that the Preferences driver for the
DeskJet (no plus) doesn't support the new features of the plus, specifically
the faster graphics performance, and the latest, greatest proportionally
spaced Times Roman Softfonts.

If anyone has news of a driver for the DeskJet Plus that is available or
underway, I'd be pleased if you sent me email.

I'll check with WordPerfect Corp. regarding the availability of a driver for
WP 4.1, but if someone has information regarding one of those, please
email me as well.

I expect to get a lot of use from the DJ+ printing Postscript output from
Professional Page via Printscript, as well as AmigaTeX output of some math,
and plain old text from WordPerfect.

I recall something about a freely distributable DeskJet driver called
"betterjet" flying past me here on the net.  I assume it's not specifically
for the Plus, but may be worth having in any case.  Could anyone point
me to its wherabouts?  I failed to find a beast with such a name in a quick
search of bix, the fish (Thanks Fred) library or comp.sources/binaries.

Come on, there must be somebody who wants a DJ+ driver more than me who'll
write one before I do right? :-)  I'll buy you a net beer (use your
imagination).
