What sort of publication from HP?  I know that here at Vancouver we did
a Microsoft Windows driver for the DeskJet but we never have done an ST
driver.  This must be some third party driver.  I will
check a bit more.  I know little about PaintJet drivers (those are made
1000 miles away in San Diego) so I can't comment on that.  By the way,
PaintJet is 180*180 resolution and does make nice looking output.  No
idea on ST support.  I gather various DeskJet drivers for both STs and
Amigas are being written or have recently been written but I don't know
a thing about them.

I'll see what I can find out.
