I'm trying to find a printer that doesn't cost a fortune yet will
produce satisfactory TeX output.  I've been looking at 24 pin printers
when I noticed that HP has a new ink-jet printer (Deskjet) that runs
Level III of HP's PCL printer language.  The stock printer comes with
only 16K of memory (you can buy up to 256K).  HP's list price: $995.00.

1. Is there a TeX driver for PCL, Level III?
2. How much printer memory would it take to make the thing work?

Optional:

   3. What do you think of ink-jet printers?
