I've just bought a BROTHER HL-8 laser printer secondhand and I have one or two questions - here goes. I have noticed that it bears remarkable similarity to the HP Laserjet I printer and that it has two slots beneath the paper tray. As the printer can emulate the HP Laserjet +, am I correct in assuming that the slots will take normal HP font cartridges (or indeed the Postscript one) ? If not, will any other manufacturers cartridges work ? Next question, It has 1/2 meg memory - can I up that to at least a meg (either with a kit - or a soldering iron and a handful of chips ?) Finally: does anyone use this printer (or in fact any laser) with the Amiga because the output from Deluxe Paint etc even with 1.3 drivers is incredibly slow (15 - 20 mins or more per page) and I need to know how to speed things up. Thanx in advance Ian Please send mail to igreenaw@hemel.bull.co.uk or post reply on the net
