     Go for it!  It's a lovely little machine.  My wife uses one for
professional desktop publishing (using ProPage) and gets excellent
results.  Just select the HP LaserJet driver and away you go.

     More memory is a good idea if you can afford it.  If not, you
can always add it in later.  The printer comes with 512K standard,
we added another 3 megs and have no problems at all.  We've also
added the Pacific Page PostScript cartridge - ProPage works just
fine with it too, although now we select PostScript output instead
of dot matrix, so the LaserJet driver isn't needed any more.

     BTW I can't make WordPerfect work with PostScript - if anyone
has any pointers for me, I'd appreciate hearing them.
