Let me give you a few reasons... My thanks to everyone who responded to my request. I went with the HP Postscript (version 52.2) cartridge. For a total of $2000, I got a new LJIII (w/1Mb RAM standard), a 2Mb RAM card, and HP's PS cartridge. (This is all university pricing.) I consider it one heck of a deal and I'm anxious to get going with it... (All that retails for over $4,000.) Now, the question is: Which printer driver should I be using? I've got WordPerfect 5.1 03/90 release which contains an HPIII driver, but WP obviously doesn't know about the printer's Postscript capabilities. Which WP driver works best with HP's Postscript? I've also got Windows 3 which has the same deal: a HPIII driver, but not one for the III with a PS cartridge. Which Windows 3/Pagemaker 3.01 printer driver works best with HP's Postscript? Thanks for the help! -- michael regoli mr@cica.cica.indiana.edu regoli@iubacs.BITNET ...rutgers!iuvax!cica!mr
