Yes.

Ditto.  I have never seen the HP fail except using the
example posted in this group, but then almost all of the
thousands of pages have been generated by WordPerfect.
I've seen a Lino RIP2 fail many times on some of this stuff
although I'm not convinced it isn't the printing company's
spooling software that's at fault.  Does the Lino RIP2 have
problems with long lines of PostScript code (600 - 1000 bytes)?

Anyway, the HP cartridge has a nice feature that does away
with complaints of pages missing due to paper jams.  There's
a 'setdojamrecovery' variable in the cartridge's statusdict
that when set to true will print the page destined for the
jammed paper on the next sheet.

Agree, except for the exceedingly useful auto jam recovery feature.
