While I don't have an HP Deskjet, I do have GoScript and a Laserjet II, and
have had experience with the Apple Laserwriter and Laserwrite II NTX. My
system is a 25 MHz 386, 1 meg RAM and 28 ms 40 meg Seagate. Using GoScript is
just like using the Laserwriters, but much slower. I had to upgrade the
Laserjet to 1 meg RAM (to print in 300x300 dpi graphics mode), but you
shouldn't need to do that for a Deskjet.

Anyway, GoScript has the same 13 fonts of the Laserwriter, while GoScript Plus
has the 35 Laserwriter II fonts. These fonts are Postscript-style outline
fonts, which means that characters can be scaled, rotated, positioned
anywhere, filled, overlayed on each other, etc., etc., and you can have as
many fonts per page as you want. Fonts, in this sense, are quite a bit more
useful than those provided by 'font cartridges', which are limited in the
sizes they can produce.

While I would like it to run faster, GoScript is great!
