I was congratulated by the profs in my department for steering them to the
right software solution.  MacPrint does a terrific job of adapting the 
Laserjet to the Mac environment. The driver is a Chooser document, and internal
fonts are simulated for the screen like bitmap graphics characters.  My only
disappointment is that there is no mechanism for downloading "permanent" soft
fonts to the Laserjet, although the output quality for bitmap fonts are close
to the Imagewriter's. Superb.
