FALSE.

The Laserjet III, IIIp, and IIIsi all use the Resolution-Enhancement
Technology (RET) regardless of the printer control language.  We are
using a LJIII here at UF with an HP PostScript cartridge and the HP
drivers (chooser documents).  In all of the "print..." dialog boxes
there is a pull-down menu to select the RET: light, medium, dark, off,
or printer default.  Also, while in PostScript mode the standard
control-panel is still active on the LJ; you can set the RET at the
printer as well.

We have been very pleased with the LJIII; it has had no trouble printing
anything we've given it, and it does print some things (some detailed
Pagemaker documents, for example) that our Laserwriter IINT doesn't.
