- Does anyone have any comparisons of these two printers for the
- Macintosh? My current impressions are that the HP is slightly faster,
- more heavy-duty, and slightly more expensive. However, the TI
- includes PostScript Level 2 and advanced bin-switching software for
- the three paper bins (two paper and one envelope) that it can support.
-
- Does the HP include bin-switching software for its two paper trays?
- If not, will these bins work with the possible System 7.1
- bin-switching stuff? Does it have an optional envelope bin? Finally,
- can the HP be upgraded to PS Level 2?
-
- Right now, I'm more in favor of the TI, but it may be that the HP is a
- much better product.
-
- Please post or email any comments or opinions you might have. This
- seems to be a close race, so I'll definitely post a complete summary.
-
- Thanks,
