I'm afraid you're out of luck. The Deskjet is not capable of printing
Postscript, and there is no upgrade to make it do so. There also are
no conversion utilities which can take a postscript page and convert
it to anything the Deskjet can read.

There are two possible solutions to your problem. One is to find]
out from your software vendor if this software can output HP PCL
language for the Deskjet. The other is to buy a Postscript printer.
I'd recommend the former, as the latter costs about $5300.
