We are contemplating a QMS/Laser Connection 'HP Jet+'
upgrade to an HP LaserJet. Does anyone have any experience
with this? The possibility of getting Appletalk, postscript
hpib and still be able to use HP modes make this look attractive to
us.
One question is what is the lifetime of the Canon
engine in these and the Apple LaserWriter? - ie: Will we get enough
useful life out of the HP to justify it (we are at 15k copies now)
Well over 100k copies would seem reasonable - is it?
thanks in advance for any info

I've never understood why so many people want to upgrade a LaserJet to support PostScript. The last time I looked at the price of the PostScript upgrade board, it wasn't radically more expensive to buy a PostScript laser printer -- and have twice the throughput, and probably less headaches.
