Could someone explain to me why I haven't seen any reports that anyone
plans to come out with a cartridge for earlier LaserJet models to enable
them to use PCL 5 and HP's version of scalable fonts?  Is there some
reason why a cartridge couldn't do this?  (From the perspective of my
limited knowledge, it doesn't sound that much harder to create such a
cartridge than to create one that does Postscript.  Granted, the variable
dot size sounds like it might be undoable, but the rest shouldn't be.)

(This may have been asked before - if so, my apologies but I missed it.)
