From: "Tim Shimeall" <tim@uci-750a>
I contacted HP via the 800 number given previously on this group, and
got the following information:
  1) The HP Laserjet printer does sell for less than $3500, quantity one.
  2) This printer does support graphics, with a resolution of 300 dots/inch,
     "although this may be limited by the resolution of some microcomputers."
     A graphics package to drive the Laserjet is currently running on the
     HP-150 computer.  
  3) This printer seems to be geared for the personal, or small business
     computer market.  The person I talked to at HP hinted at plans to 
     use the IBM PC to drive the Laserjet, but this is not available yet.
  4) This printer does NOT have the capability to accept downloadable 
     character sets, and, upon query, HP indicated it is not suitable for
     use with systems such as Metafont/TeX.  I did not inquire about what
     predefined fonts are available for it.

I have some more information (sales literature) on this printer coming
in the mail. (the above is the sum of my knowlege of it)  When it comes,
I'll post anything interesting.
