Some say its rumor, some say its announced.  Me, I don't know but,

the story is that Laserjet II will support postscript via a plug in card.
The thing has two slots or something.

Now for any Laser printer company listening:  Want to clean up in this market,
just make us a laer printer that has a self-arbitrating set of ports.
I need (and I've heard this from others too) to connect both Appletalk and
a Serial link to a (Postscript, of course) laser printer, and not have to
switch the printer between the two.  Any takers?  Maybe this mythical HP card?
