I just placed an order for an HP ThinkJet. The reason I bought it was
to have a quiet printer to work with late at night. Most of my software
has drivers for the ThinkJet. However, two questions came to mind tonight.
[1] I did not see any direct support of the ThinkJet by the STSC APL*PLUS/PC.
The User's Guide mentions only Epson support for printing APL
characters. Does anyone know if APL*PLUS/PC supports the ThinkJet?
I'd hate to make the long distance call to the east coast from
Hawaii to get a yes or no answer. Alternatively,....
[2] The mini-review of the HP ThinkJet in the PC Magazine 1984 (not 85)
printer review issue mentions that the ThinkJet has a full Epson
emulation mode. Yet, the review of the ThinkJet in the Jan85 BYTE
review says that the ThinkJet CANNOT emulate the Epson printers.
Can someone please tell me which review is correct?
I plan on keeping my aging but reliable Epson MX-80 and so will not suffer
too much if APL*PLUS/PC cannot dump APL chars to the ThinkJet. However, if
the ThinkJet can emulate the Epson, it will save me a bit of cable
switching.
Thanks in advance for any information you can share with me...todd

Hope this satisfies the legal types out there :-)
