[comp.sys.amiga] HP Printer Help - Suggestions???

hutch@thor.acc.stolaf.edu (03/21/90)

I am interested in getting one of HP's new laser printers that sell
for around $1000, or a Laser Jet series II maybe...  What I need to know
is how much memory I need in the printer to be able to use it sucessfully?
Is 512K enough, or do I need 1 meg, 2 meg or more?

If you have a HP printer of either type I  would appreciate hearing what
you think about it in regards to output quality, processing speed and
reliability.  Any pointers, disertations or help will be greatly appreciated.

Please respond to my Email Address below.

If you want "full page graphics" at 300dpi you need at least 1Meg.  For text
only, 1/2 page 300 dpi graphics or full page 150 dpi graphics you need only
512K.  If you are downloading fonts, then more memory will be needed.
