:>Correct. the HP5P is a non postscript, PC only printer. The HP5MP is a
:>postscript version, and is compatable with either platform.



Specifically, the 5P only speaks PCL and only has the parallel port interface
needed for use with a PC. The 5MP has the parallel port and PCL, but also has
Postscrip Level 2 and an Appletalk port. 

On a PC, this means that it can be used either with an HP PCL driver for
printing in PCL, or with a Postscript driver for printing either Level 2 or
Level 1 Postscript. I specifically purchased the 5MP for its Postscript
capabilities and use it with my PC running OS/2 Warp with 2 printer objects,
one for PCL and one for Postscript. (The Postscript driver gives much better
results with Quark.)

Hope this helps.
