[comp.laser-printers] hp 500+

voyles@SILVER.BACS.INDIANA.EDU ([ Aaron Voyles ]) (05/17/88)

We have an hp laserjet 500+ with 512k worth of memory.  Right now
that's not enough for our needs.  I've been told that it would be
ideal to have about 2 Megs.  Does anyone know where or how I can
obtain some info about adding more memory (the user manuals are no
help) or does anyone know of any good add-in boards that would
suffice?

adTHANKSvance!

We upgraded our 500+ to 2 megs.  HP sells an upgrade board.  I believe it
lists for around $2495.  Our university price got it down to $1497777777.  If
you want to do full page 300 dpi graphics it is absolutely necessary.
The part number is 26054A.  I believe that 
there are also third party vendors that will provide upgrades.

In my previous posting the price should have been 1497, not 14977777.
