Subject: HP LJIIP and dvijep 2.10 seem compatible. Anyone used the PacPage PS cartridge?

I just printed some files produced by Beebe's DVIJEP and latex
on a LJIIP. There seemed to be no problem. I am considering buying
the IIP to hang off a SUN 4/110. What is really attractive is the
possibility of PostScript support through the Pacific Page cartridge,
at $695, thereby giving one the best of both worlds at modest(??) price.
The IIP is about $1000. The cheapest LaserWriter I can find with PS
is $3400. 
 
To cut a long story short, has anyone used (beta-tested?) the
PacPage cartridge with the IIP? Is there a hidden price in
more memory to be bought for latex-->dvi-->PS-->printed page ?
 
Will appreciate any comments.
Thanks
