The Adobe PostScript cartridge marketed by HP (part #33439P) does NOT come
with RAM, either within the cartridge or bundled with it. You must add
at least 1 MB of additional memory to have a useful PostScript printer.

(The version of Pacific Page designed for the "LaserJet Series II" [quotes
are intentional and this model number is to be taken =LITERALLY=] is
sometimes packaged with a memory board in order to compete with the
Adobe-marketed cartridge for the same printer, which is much cheaper).
