Try one of the chooser level drivers for the LaserJet series.  Both
my brother and I use MacPrint.  He has a IIP, I use the Epson EPL-6000.
The driver is very fast and works real well.  I have not had any glitches
with it.

The only caveat is that you need at least 1 M-Byte memory in your printer
if you expect to print a full page at 300 dpi.

I have also heard of JetScript, and I have not heard anything bad about it.
It differs from MacPrint in font technology by offering outline fonts for
the LaserJet.
