The driver is written and supported by HP right here in Vancouver Wa.
I don't know the expected date and don't know if I am supposed to
give out expected dates, but do know we have pre-announced the
driver.  Note that this driver will give full outline font and
graphics capability for both portrait and landscape orientations
since all data will come to the printer as pure graphics.  Performance
on a DeskJet Classic will be poor, but on a DeskJet+ and DeskJet 500
it should be acceptable.

As for the other question, Times Roman is proportionally spaced
by definition.  You can't force a PS font to be fixed pitch any more
than you can force a fixed pitch font like Courier to be proportionally
spaced.
