I am interested in buying a laser printer that will understand Postscript
but would like to retain compatibility with the HP LJII that we already
have. There seem to be two possibilities, either buy another LJII with the QMS
JetScript card, or buy a Postscript printer with HP emulation like the
LaserWriter NTX or the QMS810. Can anyone advise me on the best course of
action? Is there any advantage in the "software" solution used by the
JetScript card, like possibility of updates of the Postscript driver. Or
is it better (for instance for purposes of speed) to have a ROM-based
system? Cost is also a factor for us.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me
