The REAL question, for those of us without hands-on-experience with the
HP deskjet is:
     Does it produce a full page of 300dpi graphics, when a 'plain' laserjet
would scream out of memory and spit out a page with approx 1inch of graphics?
A laserjet is fairly useless for graphics because of this...
    I don't think the deskjet should do this, as it can control the linefeed
and wait for more data, and continue printing.... without feeding the same
sheet through again, and again, and again.
    Of course, its slower.
