Rumor has it that HP will market a PCL5 cartridge this fall, which will give
advanced graphic and font scaling capabilities. Adding Resolution Enhancement
would cost so much as to be prohibitive, so don't expect a full IIP->IIIP
upgrade. The formatter board (which is the only difference between a IIP and
a IIIP) would have to be replaced, and it'd cost about as much as a IIP is worth
