I apologize if this question keeps cropping up in this group, but this
is the first time I've had to deal with the problem:

We have a bunch of HP laser printers, mostly LJ II's and +'s. We also have
one of the original LaserJets with no expansion slot for added memory. I
would like to know if there is any way (factory authorized or not) to increase
the memory of this older machine to make it capable of handling high-res plots
and more downloaded fonts.

I am not adverse to using third party hardware or physically modifying the
existing memory circuitry.

Any advice that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!

(Purchasing a new LJ II or substituting one of our other printers for the
older one is, unfortunately, not an option: it is part of a classified
computer system and substitution would generate a lot of administrative
headaches).
