[comp.lang.postscript] PS Cartridges for LJ II

davidc@mcs.mcs.kent.edu (David Chrin) (02/20/91)

Has anyone out there used a TurboScript cartridge from UDP in a LJ II?
We have one, and it's *incredibly* slow -- 5 minutes for a page of
text, and 25 minutes for a page of graphics!

We also have a Pacific Data cartridge in a LJ IID, and it's not too bad--
1 minute or less for text, 3-4 minutes for graphics.

How's the Pacific Data cartridge, or the Adobe cartridge in a LJ II?

I LOVE the Adobe cartridge for the series II.  Although I have a 4MB board in
my printer (it only requires an addition 1MB for letter sized pages), this
is probably a charm to use.  As a bonus, they include a MS-DOS program
called Printer Control Panel (PCPANEL) which can autodetech PCL or postscript
jobs and switch the printer accordingly (although it takes roughly a minute
to switch between modes).  I'm happy with it.
