Here's the differences between the DeskJet and the DeskJet+ that
I have seen written.

The basic differences between the DESKJET and the DESKJET PLUS are:

*  IMPROVED SPEED:  Up to 2 times faster in text
                    Up to 5 times faster in graphics

*  BUILT-IN LANDSCAPE:  Spreadsheets, Single font text

*  IMPROVED FONTS:  More built-in fonts (6 portrait and 4 landscape)
                    Taller fonts (up to 30 point bitmapped)
                    Improved soft font ability (up to 512K memory)
                    Revised proportionally spaced fonts

All this at just $995.00  

This is all pretty informal stuff that I have seen, no hard performance
numbers.  Let me also add that I'm sure these numbers come from testing
on PC's and NOT Mac's.  Also, I've never seen a DeskJet+, so I'm only
passing on the things that I've read.

Also, ron_b@appollo.com (sorry I don't have your name) if you could post
the results of what you have found about the Mac and the DeskJet, at least
I would be interested.
