I've just received a press release from TeleTypesetting in Boston
announcing a product called PostPrint.  It's a software translation
program, taking PostScript programs such as Adobe Illustrator and
others and printing them to LaserJets.  I expect to get a review
copy, but haven't yet, so I can't say much about it.  I'm guessing
that it works similar to DOS-based PostScript translation programs
where you create a file and then run the program to convert it
to bits the LaserJet understands.  The press release contact is
Marleen Winer at (617) 734-0736.

I believe there is a product from Pacific Data Products as well that
might suit your needs.  I've just read about it (not seen it) but
evidently it is a PostScript cartridge that fits into the font
cartridge slots on the series II printers.  It's a PostScript clone--
not Adobe code.

The LaserJet division of HP is (as always) looking at new technologies.
You might like to check with your local HP sales rep to find out more
about new products.

Good luck!
