We have a HP Laserjet+ with 512K memory. Is there a way to expand it's memory? How can I get full page graphics (with 300dpi resolution) from a package like Ventura publisher. I will appreciate any information on the subject. Subhash Mittal (201) 957-4687

Unfortunately the only solution offered by HP is to replace the controller
board in the LJ+ (cost about $2400 according to local HP rep).
I decided to go the smarter route and buy a new LJ series II and expand the
memory. Total cost about $2000

The following seems to constitute a "no," but you might find it useful
anyway. Laser Connection (a QMS spinoff) is advertising a PostScript
board for the LaserJet and other one-lung printers based on the Canon
CX engine. They do *not* advertise RAM expansions for such machines,
as they do for other Laser printers, which would seem to imply that
they're not advertising such expansions because they don't make them,
and they don't make them because they're either impossible or
impractical. Still, the Laser Connection product might be useful
to you: having a vorpal and standard Page Description Language
might solve more of your problems than more memory. Depends, of
course, on what you do with the printer.
If this limitation is true, it's bad news for me. The CX engine is a very
reliable product. Its physical design makes it unpopular in a serious
production environment (did Canon do a quickie adaptation of its "personal
copiers" to get into the market quickly?) but is tolerable when you're a
one-person shop with a hatred of mechanical printers. So I was hoping to get
a used CX-based printer for cheap from someone who was tired of recollating
long documents and upgrading it to fit my future needs (which I'm still
not sure about). Now I'll have to think carefully: how badly to
I need printer with a decent amount of RAM?
Laser Connections information line is 800-523-2696; according to the ad
it's just to help you locate a dealer and order a free catalog.

I believe HP do sell RAM upgrades for the LaserJet and LaserJet+. Contact your local sales office.
