I recently acquired an original HP LaserJet and I'm trying to make it
do something more useful than printing plain text.  I heard a rumor
that a company called PrinterWorks (possibly advertising in Computer
Shopper) offers an add-in board that will turn a LaserJet (or anything
with a Canon engine) into a PostScript printer.  Another rumor suggests
that Pacific Page has such a product as well.

Does anyone know anything about these products, or where the companies are
so I can contact them and find out?  I'm also wondering about the quality
of the result, since the LJ has only a serial port, line noise can mess up
the print quality.

I know about GhostScript - I have that working, but it's limited to 75dpi
due to the tiny memory of the laserjet.  It also looks like it's been FAXed
due to line noise from the serial port.

I'm also wondering about printing PostScript on the new HP color DeskJet
printers, such as the 550C.  Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,
