I have an AT-class machine and am interested in hooking a laser
printer up to it to print TeX documents.  With the price of HP's IIp
printer, it's hard to choose anything else.  My questions, then, are:

	1. Can anyone tell me if I lose horribly by having the
	   single font cartridge the IIp offers rather than the two
	   that can be used on the II or IID?  Or would I just lose
	   a little bit of speed?  (My ignorance in this area is
	   stunningly impressive.)

	2. Is anyone out there already doing this TeX, AT, IIp, MS-DOS
	   combination?  I'd love to hear any problems, pointers,
	   warnings, praise, what-have-you.

This is a rather specific topic, so I guess replies should be to me
(email).  As usual, if interest is sufficient, I'll summarize to the
newsgroup.

Thanks.
