As a matter of fact, HP will not release technical info on the 'low
profile' DeskJet.  If you need to create your own symbols, and want
to use softfonts to do that, you're out of luck.  Only developers
with specific contracts can get the information needed.  Some text-
processors for scientific purposes (such as low cost ChiWriter) with
a LaserJet driver work only so long as you don't want anything extra
out of your DeskJet.  Apparantly HP figures anybody who wants more
ought to buy a real printer.
