My father-in-law is thinking of buying one of the HP printers to use
with his Mac, so he got some promotional literature from them.  He
tells me the promotional literature claims complete PostScript
support, but I though the HP DeskJet, DeskWriter, etc. did not
interpret PostScript.  Can somebody clear this up?

----------

Currently,  HP  printers   support  only  PCL  as  their  standard  page
description  language.  The HP  Laserjet  II series has an option  for a
postscript board at an additional cost.

List price for the JetScript (postscript board) is $2795.
