(I posted this a week ago, but haven't seen it come back yet, and haven't
received any replies. If this is a double post, I apologize). 

Rumour has it that HP/Adobe won't use a cartridge but an add-on board for
level-2 postscript in the Laserjets (IIP, III and IIIP). I tried to get any
information about that from HP, failed. Dealers, no knowledge either.

Is that the case ? If yes, when can we expect to see such a board ? And how
much will it cost ? Will it be a customer-installable upgrade to existing
printers ? 

Putting the question bluntly, shall I hold off buying a LJ IIP or IIIP
until the situation clears up ? Does Pacific Page have detail plans about
level-2 postscript already ?

Anyone from HP or Adobe listening ?
