I am very happy to report that after working with the
people at Acer they have come up with a ROM upgrade for
the LP-76 laser printer.  The Acer people were very
concerned and responsive once the technical people got
the charge to bring the printer to 100% compatibility
with the industry standard.

The ROM upgrade for the LP-76 allows the LP-76 to handle
the so called "incremental font download" capability
which is found in the HP LaserJet Plus and Series II.
This brings the Acer LP-76 much closer (if not all the way)
to being 100% compatible with the HP LaserJets.  This also
allows JetRoff to work with this printer without having
to stand on its head.

This was condensed from Acer:

	The mechanism that is being put in place to upgrade
	the LP-76 ROMs is that the customer will contact Acer
	Service at (800) 445-7172 or (800) 638-2237.

	The new LP-76 ROM's, 2.6 (A7), are being shipped in the
	new units (I don't know about the warehoused units).

I waited two weeks after Acer Service was notified about the
new ROMs before making this post, so they should know about it.
