BTW, do we have experiences about OEM Postscript cartridges
and HP Laserjet III LocalTalk module. I've come across that
PCPI ImageScript (which was very much cheaper than HP's; at
least here in Finland) DON'T WORK with the LocalTalk module.
I am very confused and wonder why not. I think Postscript
module shouldn't have anything to do with network support.
Is this HP's trick to sell it's own overpriced cartridges.
