You need a minimum of 1.5mb of memory to use postscript on a LaserJet, I think.
The III comes with 1mb, so you need at least 512k more. Usually you can only
get it in 1mb increments, the more the merrier. I don't know a lot about
Postscript, but I believe the interpreter just won't be able to build a page
without the minimum amount of memory. Do look into the Pacific Page cartridge
with memory bundled along with it -- an excellent cartridge at a reasonable
price
