Several of the offices we support are purchasing Postscript cards for their HP LaserJet II, III, and IIp. Our offices all use a standard set of software, which includes WordPerfect (No problem using Postscript), PCFile III, Quattro/Quattro Pro, and several other text output programs. How can we print from all of these programs to our lasers without having to constantly plug the Postscript card in and out? HP says the cards are not switchable.

I never read anyone talking about the Pacific Data cartridge, but really, to get a $1300 postscript printer (HPIIp + memory + Cartridge). I'll accept 4ppm. -- | Le Jojo: Fresh 'n' Clean, speaking out to the way you want to live | today; American - All American; doing, a bit so, and even more so.
