RE: Pacific Page Postcript cartridge for HP-LJII

I prepare a monthly 16-20 page newsletter, using Wordperfect, and an HP
Laserjet II printer. I've been using the Pacific Page cartridge for approx
3 months now. Although it works very well, and the quality is quite good,
it is painfully slow!  There are limitations imposed by either Pacific
Page's emulation (or maybe it's inherent in the printer) on the largest
point sizes allowed. If you exceed the size limit, your job goes out to
nevernever land.
If you use Tex, or LaTex, for some reason the tops of the characters are
slightly chopped off. The larger the point size the more obvious it
becomes. This is the only failure I've seen in the emulation.
I've used it with Drawperfect (WP Corp) and get wonderful-looking
output, but again, just about anything takes forever to print.
