I've recently got a Dell 233 Dimension PC with 6Gb HD and 64Mb of RAM.
As you may have guessed I'm using it with a HP Laserjet 5L.  Now I've
looked and I think I now understand what the difference is between PCL
and Host printing, so I've learnt somthing today.  The PCL driver
definatly prints better, but it still doesn't give the best results i
seen the printer give, (Not as well as my Acorn Risc PC does put it that
way).

One problem which I have which I would like some help with, If create a
document in word 97 with some normal text at the top and word art along
the side and make both text's a shade of gray, the word art comes out
grey but the normal text comes out black..whats going on here??  

Also all the printer driver boxes only mention 300dpi printing, when
according to the manual the 5l is 600dpi..again what is going on here?

Apart from those problems I have two other questions:

1) Would I be better of sticking some more memory in the printer?

2) Whats better to use: Host or PCL printing?  From what I understand as
I have loads of memory Host printing should be better..but then what do
I know?

Any help deeply appricated.
