Is the LJ II the brand new four-ppm printer I have read about recently? Or is that called something else? Anyway, I'm planning on getting one of the (inexpensive) new HP 4-ppm units, and I'd like to use TeX on it. (Actually I *must* use TeX on it.) Three questions: Is this possible? Should I try using the DVI => HP/LJ driver mentioned above, or will I need a different driver. Assuming that I'm willing to spend lots of money to get lots and lots and LOTS of fonts, what extra font cartriges should I buy? I seem to recall seeing an item somewhere long ago that talked about some third party manufacturer of HP compatible font cartriges which was selling a single cartrige with a TON of fonts in it. Are such things available yet for the new 4-ppm HP printer? Thanks in advance. // rfg
