"The new Apple printer has 300 dots/inch resolution.  That
means 90,000 dots per square inch.  Multiply that by the
8.5x11 inches of a standard sheet of paper and you'll see
why Apple needed so much memory in its new printer.  The HP
Laserjet is character-oriented.  It needs more memory if
it's going to do graphics.  I'm sure HP will do something
about that.

" *Real* typesetters consider 300 dots/inch to be far too
little; but give the micro world a couple more years and
nearly anyone will be able to typeset a book."
