	But to answer the question... the answer is yes. Insight Dev. makes
a product called LaserControl, which is a TSR that allows HP LJ's to look like
a number of other, more simple-minded printers, like the Epson. The point is
well-taken, though: do not expect it to produce beautiful 300dpi graphics.
However, many programs only support Epson or IBM graphics printers, so there is
a need (I needed it...).
