	Definitely. Postscript cartridges come in a variety of options
like 17 fonts, 35 fonts, PostScript Level 2 and so on.

: 
	Have you tried GoScript Version 4.0. It is really good. First
you have to print the postscript document to a file. Then run GoScript
to convert this file to the language that your printer will understand
and print it. Simple.

: 	c) Are there any other software or hardware options?

	I think that is all that I could think of.

Steve
