Someone said it has been released--is this for real?
I am in the market for a laser printing full page
graphics for ~$1000. I could get the IIp for $740
(educational), but I won't if this new printer is a
replacement/upgrade to the IIp (ie fills the IIp's
slot in the hp line).
So: anybody know speed, standard memory, list $,
educational $?
I'm sure posting would be welcomed but email is fine.

Here is the information I have on it thus far. The LaserJet IIIP has the same print engine, speed and size as the IIP. Like all others in the LaserJet III family of printers, the IIIP comes std with the following features: + HP's Resolution Enhancement Technology (RET) + PCL5 (HP's most feature-rich printer command language to date, with some PostScript-like features and functionality) + HPGL/2 (HP's newest graphics (plotter) language) + 8 scalable fonts (four Times-Roman and four Univers (like Helvetica)) + 14 bitmappped fonts + 1MB RAM + PostScript upgradable The IIIP lists for $1,595 with a probable street price of about $1,000. According to InfoWorld, Volume 13, Issue 17, the IIIP can use the same memory boards as the IIP, III and IIID for a maximum of 5MB of RAM. Other IIIP features include a 16MHz CISC processor and a parallel port that accepts data at a rate four times faster than that of the IIP. For more information contact HP at 1-800-752-0900.

Can anybody tell me, about the IIIP, whether it has the same paper output slot on the side that the IIP has, and whether it would work to have output come out there into, say, a suitably sized box, to circumvent the 50-page limit on the output on top of the unit? Many thanks, David

The HP LaserJet IIIP was introduced the week of 4/26. This is not a planned replacement for the IIP but rather an addition to the LaserJet family. From the info in a recent publication... List price $1,595. Same print engine as LaserJet IIP, but with performance enhancements, and resolution enhancements. (Faster processor, Faster I/O, Dot scaling) It is planned that the LaserJet IIP users will be able to purchase an upgrade cartridge for their printers. The cartridge will allow the users to use PCL 5 on the LaserJet IIP. The article says nothing about the addition of the resolution enhancement. The current list price of the IIP is $1,295 =============================================================================== |Craig Gilmore | "I know GOD is a man, 'cause the first | |Hewlett-Packard Response Center | thing created was DIRT.

When I asked them about the price, I was told it will be around $400-$500. I'm not sure if it is worth upgrading. Upgrade is extremly expensive. -suresh suresh@sgi.com

Rumor has it that HP will market a PCL5 cartridge this fall, which will give advanced graphic and font scaling capabilities. Adding Resolution Enhancement would cost so much as to be prohibitive, so don't expect a full IIP->IIIP upgrade. The formatter board (which is the only difference between a IIP and a IIIP) would have to be replaced, and it'd cost about as much as a IIP is worth -- Mike Schuster | CIS: 70346,1745 NY Public Access UNIX: ...cmcl2!panix!schuster | MCI Mail, GENIE: The Portal (R) System: schuster@cup.portal.com | MSCHUSTER

I saw a comment by a HP person on CompuServe that HP does not intend to offer an upgrade for the IIP but they will be coming out with a PCL 5 cartridge. The HP person stated that an upgrade would not be cost effective. -- Bob Mathias uucp: ccicpg!uis-oc!bob@uunet.uu.net Unisys Corporation CServ: 70340,165 A and V Series Systems Engineering voice: (714) 727-0323 Irvine, California
