This is the story I got from HP cust. service.
Adobe is marketing the II postscript cartridge (~$250)
HP is making a IIp/IId/III postscript cartridge (~$600)
They were quite confident that Adobe was not about the come out
with a cartridge to compete with the HP product.
Opinion: the cartirdges are essentially the same and HP has set
its price has high as possible while keeping the total
Ps printer cost just under the price of a LWNT
Question: The guy told me that you need 2MB ram (total) for
8.5x11 printing on a HPIII (ok). Then he told me
that any ram over 2Mb would not be used at all (!)
Can someone confirm/explain this to me?
