We have not yet tried using the HP-PS cartridge with our LJIIIs, but
had the same problem trying to use the PacificPage Postscript
cartridge with a LJII: works fine when the printer uses the parallel
port, and not at all when using the serial port.

Maybe a serial-to-parallel converter is the only solution?
