I get a (quite good) weekly trade magazine here in the UK called 'Microscope' and the latest issue mentions a deal between HP and Adobe so that all future HP laser printers will use Postscript (about time !). Inside the issue, the magazine's US journalist mentions a Postscript cartridge - can anyone please give me any details of this cartridge ? e.g. price, availability date and how much on-board RAM is required (we have 8 LaserJet Series II printers). P.S. Thanks for the tape Dick (Dowell) - it arrived here in record time ! Unfortunately, a recent flood in our department (the roof caved in...) has meant that our tape drive has had to go back to HP for drying out.... Richard K.

It evidently is some new kind of cartridge. -- Bill Gaines Industrial Computer Corporation (...!gatech!iccdev!bill)
