Don't let the speed issue stop you!  It takes about 10-12 minutes for
the computer to lay out a 300x300 dpi page for the LaserJet, and about
40 seconds for the LJ to print it.  If the DeskJet is one half that
speed, you will go from 12-1/2 minutes overall to 13 minutes overall -
trivial.  Gee, HP makes some nice equipment, don't they?
