Sorry, but you are mistaken, the HP Adobe Postscript cartridge that I have
(2 ea) works only on the HP series IIP, IID and series III.  The cartridges list
for around $800.00, but can be found for $450.00.  I have heard that HP
offers a cartridge for the series II also, but that because it uses a older
processor board that it is not compatable with the newer releases for the
IIP, IID and III.

I am very satisified with them, and have tested them against a Apple 2NTX.  
They are fast, and more importantly, they work.  

The part number for IIP, IID and III support:   HP33439P

You need 2 meg of printer memory to use it, but HP says that by adding more
memory, you can make it faster.  I have heard nothing of additional 
cartridges for more fonts, but the documentation says that Adobe downloadable
fonts work just fine!
