I'm posting rather than e-mailing because this is a general interest response.

Last night on the local Personal Computer Show on WBAI-FM, I heard a report of
a product introduced this week at PC-Expo in NYC that provides the same 
functionality as JetScript for a laserprinter, but is a totally software 
solution, and was selling at the Expo for $195!  It will probably sell for
around $250 or so to the general public.  I didn't catch the name of the 
product... perhaps someone else (Ross Greenberg, are you reading this?) will 
fill in the blanks.  As another running a shared Laserjet, It sure piqued my 
interest!  I think a $250 solution is to be preferred to a $1600 solution if
it works the same.
