I have two different questions about the Laserjet III.  I just recieved
mine.

  1) I didn't get the postscript card yet.  I ordered it before HP
     actually started shipping it.  Does anyone know if HP has started
     shipping?  That may be the reason I haven't recieved it yet.

  2) I was reading the manual about the new PCL and saw that they have
     added a compression scheme they called tagged image file format.
     Does this imply that one can just send a TIFF file and the printer
     will understand how to print it,  or is it mean that one of the
     many compression schemes that are in TIFF is supported?  I would
     love it to be the former.
