   From HP's PostScript cartridge user's guide 33439-90901
pg 2-11 CAUTION: Do not insert the PostScript cartridge while the printer is 
                 turned on.
pg 2-18 CAUTION: Do not remove the PostScript cartridge while the printer is 
                 turned on.
pg 3-1 ...Your printer therefore can have different operating mode:
          * PCL mode (without your PostScript cartridge installed).
          * PostScript mode (with your PostScript cartridge installed).

   So MY question is, how do people switch between PCL & PostScript without
turning off the printer...
