[comp.sys.hp] Postscript to PCL - more questions

renga@perpetua.cs.uoregon.edu (Renganathan Sundararajan) (01/13/91)

Thanks to the following people for their  msgs on printing 
postscript files on HP Laser Jet II

   hardy@golem.ps.uci.  edu  
   jco@reef.cis.ufl.edu 
   steven@uicadd.csl.uiuc.edu  
   jack@umbc3.umbc.edu  
   Tom.Lane@g.gp.cs.cmu.edu    and 
   Konstantinos Konstantinides

We are thinking about buying a postscript cartridge.
Our LJ II has 1M memory and I was wondering if it is really
necessary to buy additional memory. If so, which is the best source?
Will I be able to trade-in the 1M board we have for a 2 or 4M board?
(The LaserJet has been idle   for about 3 years now and 
and I'm taking the initiative to put it to use! So the memory 
board is as good as new.) 

I have received conflicting opinions about Pacific Data Product's
and HP's postscript cartridges.

What is the experience of other users of PDP, HP or Adobe's 
postscript cartridges - specifically on
	 postscript complicance,
	 reliablity,
	 quality of print
	 software controlled switching from PCL to PS and
	 vice-versa (desirable but not very important).

If there is enough interest, I'll post a summary
Thanks once again.
