What it produces >looks exactly like a Xerox copy of an Epson printout, not a 300DPI printout. But to answer the question... the answer is yes. Insight Dev. makes a product called LaserControl, which is a TSR that allows HP LJ's to look like a number of other, more simple-minded printers, like the Epson. The point is well-taken, though: do not expect it to produce beautiful 300dpi graphics. However, many programs only support Epson or IBM graphics printers, so there is a need (I needed it...).
