I have only seen an add mentioning the rebate.  Does HP have a rebate
for all the printers including the IIP or is it only for the deskjet+?
What are the specifics of getting the rebate?

As for graphics speed, has anyone compared the 300DPI bitmap dump
speed of the IIP to the deskjet+.  I would assume the deskjet+ is
slower than 1 ppm, and the IIP is slower than its rated 4 ppm, but
what is the actual rate.  The reason I ask is that I am interested in
dumping Postscript graphics as produced by a package like Ultrascript,
and DVI files from TeX (which isn't quite fair as the deskjet dumps
them as 300 DPI bitmaps, but the IIP prints them using downloaded
fonts).
