Does anyone out there know if it is possible to upgrade the memory of an
HP Laser Jet (not the II) to the equivalent of an HP Laser Jet+. If anyone
has done this, knows how to do this, or has even heard of someone that that
has done this, please respond with e-mail.
Thanks in advance... Mike

The now-discontinued HP 26053A kit upgrades a 2686A (std) LaserJet to the
full 2686A Option 300 LaserJet+ configuration. You end up with dual
interfaces, 512K RAM and PCL Level 4 command set. Some dealers may still
have this kit in stock.
The 26053A was replaced early this year by the 26054A, which expanded the
RAM in the '53 kit to 2 Mbytes. This kit is still available, but its list
price (about $2500, as I recall) is the same as buying a whole new 33440A
LaserJet-II :-(
