- Well, don't get what I got!
-
- In my ignorance I picked up the standard HP Postscript cartridge for
- the HPIII. (This was soon after they came out and a new one may be
- available.)
-
- It is incredibly slow, and doesn't support auto switching between PCL
- and postscript. If I have the cartridge in there, I can't print PCL.
-
- As it is, I don't use Postscript.
-
- Actually, I lie, it's a great card and if you want to buy it off me I
- could give you a really great price... :-)
