Here's some new information about HP LaserJet support for TeX.  It's
from an article on page 44 of the July 21, 1986 issue of InfoWorld.

	"MICROTEX TO USE LASERJET PLUS"

	"Users of the IBM PC-based typesetting program MicroTeX can ow
use the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Plus printer via a new driver introduced
by MicroTeX publisher Addison--Wesley Publishing Co.

	"The driver, called DVIlaser/HP, was designed by Textset Inc.
of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and translates MicroTeX files into a language
that is understood by the LaserJet Plus, according to Brian Skidmore,
Addison-Wesley's product line manager for desktop publishing.  MicroTeX
is not compatible with the standard LaserJet printer, because that model
is not equipped with enough memory, he noted.  With the new LaserJet Plus
drivers, users can also make use of both the cartridge and disk-based 
downloadable fonts supplied by Hewlett-Packard, Skidmore said.

	"MicroTeX is a microcomputer version of the TeX user-extendable
programming language designed by Donald Knuth at Stanford University,
in Stanford,  California, for batch-oriented typesettin, Skidmore said.

	"The new LaserJet Plus driver is currently available from
Addison-Wesley for $250 and requires Version 1.5A1 of MicroTeX (available
for $295).  MicroTeX and DVILaser/HP Can be purchased together for $495."
