Jeff (and all others interested),

I don't think Seth wants to hook up the laserjet directly to
the SE/30. But those of you who want to, check out my review in
sumex: /info-mac/report/mac-laser-jet-up-rev-11.txt.

Also, quite definitely, HP does *not* provide drivers for the
LaserJet series II.

Cheers!
