I have just recently purchased a HP DeskJet and like it alot. I have responded
to another note in this group about a connection problem. I personally have
had no problem using it at all. We have Laserjet's (all variations) at work
here and the only difference's I have seen is the speed that it takes to get
the output. Another rumour about DeskJet is that it won't print text and
graphics on the same line, however I have not tried yet. My present system
is a 1040 with Magic Sac, Translator , both types of Atari monitors, Supra
ACSI to SCSI interface card, two HP 97054B SCSI interface cards, four HP 97501
20 megabyte hard disks, 2400 Baud US robotics modem and the DeskJet on the
parallel interface. I have printed from the desktop as well as from WordPerfect
Version 4.1 . The printer driver I use for WordPerfect is the LaserJet driver.
I plan on contacting WordPerfect corp. for a Deskjet driver or asking Vancouver
division here at HP to get one for the ST.

If you have your heart set on a postscript printer you can convert a Laserjet
to a postscript printer with a card QMS makes, however QMS also makes the 
companion card that plugs into a IBM pc backplane so how complete this
conversion I am not sure. If you are interested alot drop me a line and I will
send out the info.

As stated before in previous note I will be testing out this printer more as
time goes along and will post any problems along with solutions (if I have any
). If you are having problems you can try me but since I don't work at the 
Division that makes DeskJet I can't resolve all issues concerning the DeskJet.

Addressing an earlier comment on the interfaces available on the printer, it
does have both serial and Centronics parallel built in. By the way you can't
use both at the same time though.
