From: David M. Gelphman 415-854-3300 x3186 <DAVEG%SLACVM@WISCVM.ARPA> Our working group is buying a LaserJet for the IBM PC and I am interested in LaserJet drivers for the Macintosh since we have one also. If so, I suspect the IBM will not be used for any word processing. In any case, the latest (early for May!) MacWorld has two ads for drivers for the LaserJet. ProPrint is one and another is by a company called SoftStyle. The second's ad say's "spectacular graphics and laser quality text". We will get information about this product from the distributer (and I will be happy to post it) but in the meantime does anyone have any experience with either product? If so could they do a short review of it? Thanks, David Gelphman DAVEG@SLACVM.BITNET [[Editor's note---this message was originally directed to Info-Mac and was redirected to Laser-Lovers by that list's moderator. --Rick]] -------

From: KSPROUL@RUTGERS.ARPA I received a demo disk from the people that make the Magic video digitizer... This disk contained a program called HP LASER... the documentation (what little there was with this demo) said that this was a program to print the pictures on an HP LaserJet printer!!! So if anyone wants to print on the LaserJet without having to write a program themselves, I would recommend contacting the people that make the MAGIC digitzer...

From: Richard Furuta <Furuta@WASHINGTON.ARPA> We have local software here that converts MacPaint format files into HP LaserJet form (it uses the 75 dpi resolution bitmaps). I believe that the question here is more general though---the correspondent wanted a general printer driver for the HP so that he could print things like MacWrite documents onto the printer as well. --Rick -------
