So the guy who was wondering whether to get an >HP laserjet II, or a postscript printer... now you can have both. Or you can get a Deskjet and Pixelscript to print postscript. I would recommend getting a DeskJet Plus if you can get the same kind of deal. The price you quote for a DeskJet is pretty good though. I am very happy with mine - great graphics (if only black and white/ greyscale). It really is as good as a laser printer. The ink will smear if you get it wet, but then again your not supposed to get your printouts wet anyhow. While it is not as fast as a laser jet, it is more than quick enough for a single user. Is you want to print postscript files then you can get Pixelscript. The Demos I have seen are great, and it does a good job. HOWEVER -- it doesn't work too well on a 512k machine. :-( (Then again -- now days lots of good software won't work on a 512k machine.) Dave S.
