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? >-- > Joel West, Palomar Software, Inc. (c/o UCSD) > {ucbvax,ihnp4}!sdcsvax!jww or jww@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu -- "Plan for the future because that's where you Howard C.
