Check out MacPrint and JetLink.  Both have been reviewed by the leading
Mac magazines in the past months.  These are chooser level drivers for
HP laser printers that are Laser Jet compatible.  I have seen and used
MacPrint, it seems to work just fine providing you have at least 1-Mbyte
of memory (512K will not be enough for full page graphics).  Do not expect
postscript programs to work well unless you buy a postscript adapter.
