I allways recommend the HP PS cartridge but it doesn't let you select either
PS or PCL/GL modes, just forces PS mode only.  But at least its true PS.
If you decide to go this route, use WordPerfect's IID PS driver.

>	Secondly, is the WP driver for the IIID out yet ???
Yes, it comes on the latest printer drivers dated 8/24/90.  If you call and
ask for the driver, they might send it to you for free.  Otherwise its $10
for the first 5 disks, and $1 per disk after the 5th (5.25" disks).  So if
you asked for all 14 printer disks (printer disks 1 to 13 plus the user-
contrib), it would put you back $19.
