The postscript cartridges are really good. With a IIP w/ 2.5Mb you should have no problems (apart from being a little slow). As an aside, we did a study at work on laser printers, comparing HP LJ IIIs with memory expansion and postscript cartridges vs Apple LaserWriter IINTXs. Our recommendation was that everyone in the company should get the HPs (for Macs and for IBMs). The HPs are half the price, produce the same output (maybe better with Resolution Enhancement) and were about 4/3 as fast as the LW. /******************************************************************************* ** Craig D.
