   With the appletalk option, HP does supply it's own 'advanced' laserwriter
and laserprep files.  They are supposed to use some advanced features available
in the HP, and HP recommends using them.  I however am using the apple drivers
and have yet to have a problem.
   I would have used HP's right off the bat, BUT HP messed up bit time.  I
have a mixed net and want to select ANY printer available.  By HP supplying
drivers with the same name as apples, they both can't exist together.  I've
talked about modifying the names (so they can still be used, recognized, and
co-exist with the apple ones) but haven't have the time to either accomplish
it or get it done for me.
