While the HP deskjet (plain and plus) are compatible with the laserjets in many
ways, the are also different in many others.  Differences include:


	Downloaded fonts
	Graphics
	Moving around on the page

Because of these differences I modified one of the dvi bipmap drivers
from N. Beebe in Utah for the desk jet.  A copy of the source is available
for anonymous ftp from hpcvaaz.cv.hp.com as pub/dvidsk.tar.Z.  I also sent
it back to Beebe, and it should be on his next release (soon I hope).
