I just finished installing, configuring, and debugging our Desktop Publishing
workstations here at HP.  Even after some minor problems getting the LaserJet+
to talk parallel I can most confidently recommend the following configuration:

HP Vectra PC (or PC clone with EGA graphics)
MicroSoft Windows  (required by PageMaker)
PageMaker
Mouse, etc.
HP LaserJet+ or Apple LaserWriter+

That will do the job with the best results.  There are a number of options
that PageMaker supports, but I can't comment on the various configurations
of hardware.

(Personally, I've been using a MacPlus, PageMaker, and a LaserWriter.  Still,
if you can't have that then the PC solution above is the next best thing.)

Good luck,
