Some say its rumor, some say its announced. Me, I don't know but,
the story is that Laserjet II will support postscript via a plug in card.
The thing has two slots or something.
Now for any Laser printer company listening: Want to clean up in this market,
just make us a laer printer that has a self-arbitrating set of ports.
I need (and I've heard this from others too) to connect both Appletalk and
a Serial link to a (Postscript, of course) laser printer, and not have to
switch the printer between the two. Any takers? Maybe this mythical HP card?
