HP assures me it will work, but with two "gotchas" - you cannot switch :>>the startup page or RET programatically ... only using the front panel. i :>>can live with that. : :>Anybody know if this is true of the LJ3 also? It would be nice to be : :This is true with the HPLJIII. RET control and start-up page options :can only be changed via the front panel. I havn't uset either, but the HP Postscript cartridge manual describes postscript operators "setdoret" and "setdostartpage" for controling RET and startup page activity. since I have the manual open, if anyone is interested integer setdoret ! integer 0=off 1=light 2=medium 3=dark doret !returns integer RET setting boolean setdostartpage ! boolean = on or off dostartpage !returns boolean on/off the RET setting is semi-persistant, while the startup setting is persistant (obviously.. ) -- -george george@mech.seas.upenn.edu
