This is true if you're talking about HP's postscript cartridge that works on
IIP/IID/III/IIID printers.  The Adobe PS cartridge for the series II does
do switching between PS and PCL like the pacific page cartridge or through
a TSR called Printer Control Panel (PCPANEL for short) which can autodetect
PS or PCL jobs going through whatever port it's sensing.

Clarification: The Adobe PS cartridge and the HP PS cartridge do not compete
against each other.  If you have a series II printer, its the Adobe cartridge,
if it's a newer printer, you have to use the HP cartridge (well, if you really
want true postscript in a cartridge :-).
