I have had for for a couple of weeks. The print quality is excellent! The HP LJII emulation is, well, identical. In "text" mode, it prints very quick. In graphics mode, it's a ssslooopoke... The "laserTorq"-style laser spoolers are supposed to really help, but then they may not be compatible with your other applications (like Windows). On other hand, Windows is slow to begin with, anyway. Also, the 512K memory is barely adaquate (unless 150x150DPI is adaquate), but "discount" memory for the IIP is running about $250+/Mb. I picked up one locally for $950 w/toner. -- Marc Ries ries@venice.sedd.trw.com (ARPA) somewhere!trwind!venice!ries (UUCP) #include
