I am currently using a PacificPage with a HP LaserJet series II with 4 MB RAM
(you will need at least 2 MB) for more than 6 months now.
It appears to work just fine: transparent LaserWriter II NTX emulation, fonts
and graphics look great. Don't think of that if you have lots of raster
graphics to print: Throwing a moderate-sized TIF file to that means waiting
>>>5-10 minutes...!. speed is correct with vector graphics. Need to change to
HP PCL ? just a batch command.
Overall, a good choice. Beware of Windows 3 Postscript driver: just doesn't
work! get an old Micrografix driver.
