Well, don't get what I got!
In my ignorance I picked up the standard HP Postscript cartridge for
the HPIII. (This was soon after they came out and a new one may be
available.)
It is incredibly slow, and doesn't support auto switching between PCL
and postscript. If I have the cartridge in there, I can't print PCL.
As it is, I don't use Postscript.
Actually, I lie, it's a great card and if you want to buy it off me I
could give you a really great price... :-)
