The HP Lazerjet is a good printer for letter quality work but is not a
compatable postscript device. It can print off bit mapped files but
does not understand the Postscript language.

QMS, markets an add-on device to the Lazerjet that replaces HP's
controller with a Postscript controller but costs about $3000.
