Anyone have any opinions (8-)) or warnings, etc., about the following
laser printers? I plan to use them with a Packard Bell 286 with some
(as yet undecided) desk-top-publishing software [basically to publish
a "newsletter with graphics"].
The Choices:
HP LaserJet IIP $999 (HP LaserJett II mode, 512K memory, 15 internal
fonts (?), 4PPG, 300dpi, etc.)
Packard Bell PB 9500: $1195 (HP LaserJet II mode, 1.5MB memory, 2 font
slots, 6PPG, 6internal fonts, 300dpi)
Epson EPL-6000: $995 (HP LJ II+ mode, 512K memory, 2 font slots,
6PPG, 6internal fonts, 300dpi)
PS: The PB 9500 seems like the "Best Buy" due to the added standard
memory. I'm not sure what the Epson's HP LJ II+ compatibility
gets you about HP LJ II mode. On the other hand, buying the HP IIP
is the "safe" bet, since you know everbody and their mother are going
to support it.
NOTE: The Pacific Data "25-In-One" and "Postscript" carts is (in their
mode recent ad, "HP LaserJet IIP" compatible. The memory listed
above is standard, all can expand to 4 to 4.5MB.
