[Sorry if this is a duplicate]

I just got a catalog from DAK offering a "LaserPro Silver Express" printer for
$699.  According to the ad copy, this printer can accept HP LaserJet+ font
cartridges.  It comes with either 1MB or 1.5MB of memory.  A few questions:

   1) Can is accept Pacific Data Products' Postscript cartridge?  Alternatively,
      is postscript in some other form available?

   2) Is additional memory available for this printer, and at a reasonable
      cost?

   3) What engine is this printer based on (for getting drum and toner)?

   4) What experiences, good or bad, has anyone had with this printer?

I am looking at this as a personal laser printer for desktop publishing use.
Any help would be appreciated.

                                Thanks,

                                James A. Parker
