I'm sure this has been gone over & over & over again, but can anyone recommned the best driver for hooking up a non-PS HP Laserjet to a Mac. Has anyone had experience with MacPrint from Insight Development ?? (I know we should use a mac printer, but this is the first chink in the armor of the last fortress of the enemy left) Thanks, Mike isr@rodan.acs.syr.edu

MacPrint does a terrific job of adapting the Laserjet to the Mac environment. The driver is a Chooser document, and internal fonts are simulated for the screen like bitmap graphics characters. My only disappointment is that there is no mechanism for downloading "permanent" soft fonts to the Laserjet, although the output quality for bitmap fonts are close to the Imagewriter's. Superb.
