- Since (to the best of my knowledge) the 500 series does not allow a
- PostScript cartridge, you're out of luck on that line.

- I would suggest getting the HP DeskJet 500C and purchasing SGI's
- Impressario product. It gives you full color PostScript support, and
- even full engine status. List price $795.
