A local user is looking into moving up to a Mega or a multi-meg STE for
DTP work (currently, he is using Pagestream 1.8). He wants info about
Postscript capability for laser printing.

1. Is there a PostScript board for the HP LJ IIp? If not, is there a slot
   in this printer for a PS board?

2. Can UltraScript use PS fonts or is it limited to US fonts?

The user is aware of the much slower speed of the LJ IIp but does not have
high volume needs. The LJ IIp with .5 meg is $CDN 1495 and the SLM804
is almost $CDN 2000. With 4 megs of memory, it looks like the IIp would
cost as much as the SLM804 making it a better buy (except for speed).

Can anyone provide more info on this topic?
