I am currently considering the purchase of a laser printer for my Macintosh.
I have worked with the Apple LaserWriter IINT and know that all of my fonts
that I own will work with it and all of the programs that generate PostScript
will function just as expected.  I have been following the progress of the
HP LaserJet III with its RET (Resolution Enhancement Technology) and its
lower price.  I would like an evaluation as if price were not really an
issue.

My questions are of the following:

1. Is it truly compatible with everything that is available for the Mac?
   I know that I would need a PostScript cartridge to plug in but what about
   using all of the fonts that I own from Adobe?

2. In addition to compatibility, what about performance with speed and
   maintenance?

Thanks in advance,
Lyle
