According to a colleague of mine the best PostScript option for a 
LaserJet II is the PostScript Cartridge from Adobe.  He claims that
the performance of this cartridge blows away all the others plus
it is cheaper (about $299).  This makes sense to me.  Adobe is the
creater of PostScript and knows its ins and outs.  Who better to
create a low cost, TRUE (not some clone hack) PostScript option for
laserjets!

I haven't actually used this cartridge but maybe someone who has can 
post.
