Has anyone out there tried Ultrascript ST-1? There is an add in the latest Start magazine for this new version of Ultrascript. It supports all sorts of output devices, including dot matrix printers and the HP Laserjet IIp. Ultrascript ST-1 and the HP Laserjet IIp may be a good cheap postscript solution. It sounds like the Laserjet may require a memory upgrade to support this -- does anyone know if a memory upgrade is required?

It came to $1642 with COD,shipping,the 1 megabyte memory upgrade, and a 12 foot Centronics parallel printer cable. And yes, UltraScript ST-1 is supposed to work with the KC-P4450 since it has Laser Jet Plus emulation. BTW, Panasonic has a toll free techincal support number. It is 1-800-222-0582 I am going to call them and ask how hard it is to write a printer driver for the 4450. All in all, for the price seems like quite a deal!! -- Richard E.
