I have a Laserjet+ and use Generic CAD and Dotplot and find that I can only
get complex drawings printed at 150dpi; the Laserjet runs out of memory,
somewhat annoying!

In the HP Laserjet suppliers catalogue (US Version - so I really ought to
write "catalog" ) they describe two programs sold in the US from a company
called Insight Development.

Laser Control (to make the Laserjet emulate FX80 & Diablo 630)
Laser Plotter (to make the Laserjet emulate a pen plotter + compression)

My questions are:

Where is Insight Development (address, telephone number)?

Where can the above software be bought?

How does the pen plotter work, is it emulation in the PC or does the 
Laserjet+ do it?

How good are these packages?

Are there any other similar packages I should know about?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
