I do not know what operating system you are using, but YES, you can print
postscript files on the HP Deskjet, in fact, I have been doing it for
for several months.  For you DOS users, there are 2 programs that have
drivers for Deskjet postscript: GOSCRIPT and FREEDOM OF PRESS.  I have
tested both, and found FOP to be a little better, but it costs 2x as
much as GS.  Both programs let you use your host processor to run 	
a postscript interpiter. There is a postscript processor board from
Everex, called the POST CARD PLUS.  I also have this board intstalled.
It provides 3 to 5 meg of ram, a 12meg 80186 cpu, and the postscript 
program.  When installed, it becomes a LPT: port, and works GREAT. I think
that the board costs around 1.7k now, but it drives SEVERAL printers 
including the Deskjet.
