We have an HP PaintJet at Prime that I've used briefly with the
driver package that HP sells for it. This software interface
costs about $125. It provides a chooser level driver and a cable.
I can't recall if it came with any fonts - I'm at home and the package
is at work. It looks like the PaintJet can be used with most Mac
applications that "play by the rules". I was able to get color output
from Excel and from Powerpoint. The output from Powerpoint was extra-
ordinary - Powerpoint comes with a number of sample, full color slides.
I printed one of these on the Paintjet and got a beautiful proof of
the slide. I didn't try other applications; I expect they'll work
fine if they handle color on the screen.
