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.

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.
