Has anybody seen or heard anything about the new HP DeskJet Laser Quality printer? I just read an article on it in the newspaper, but it didn't give enough specifics. It did say that it was $995, 300 dots per inch, two pages per minute, uses a replacable ink jet head ($18.95) thats good for about 600 pages, it uses regular paper. The article also said that it was HP and IBM compatible. OK, but what kind of printer driver would I need? Is it Epson FX compatible or what? Will I able to print output from EZ-Draw with the standard driver and get laser quality? If anyone has any more information on this new product please let me know. Keith keithr@vice.TEK.COM

With the FX-80 emulation cartridge, list price $75, it is FX-80 compatible. Graphics is scaled by the emulation cartridge to print the same resolution as the Epson. >> Will I able to print output from EZ-Draw with the >>standard driver and get laser quality? If anyone has any >>more information on this new product please let me know. Graphics, since it's the same resolution, will be just as coarse as the Epson. Text prints at 300 dpi and is laser quality. Dave Lowe davel%hpvcla@hplabs.HP.COM or hplabs!hp-pcd!hpvcla!davel PS: I tried mail; it didn't get through.

Sorry, Keith, I don't know the answer, but your question does raise another. What is it that is new about this printer? Ink jet printers have been around for some time, now. But this is the first that I have heard them called "laser quality". Which came first: laser printers or ink jet printers? -- L. J.
