No, the DeskJet is absolutely not compatable with the LaserJet download font format. It is somewhat compatable in other areas, but the DeskJet does not have a page of memory so there are many other subtle and not so subtle incompatabilities. There are some LaserJet to DeskJet soft font coversion utilities on the market at a reasonable price but I have not used any so I hesitate to recommend a particular one. The new DeskJet 500 is the first DeskJet to support kerning, making LaserJet to DeskJet soft font conversion even more reasonable a thing to do. Dave Neff neff@hpvfs1.HP.COM

I think it is but not really sure. > > Nhan Tran > email: tran@peora.ccur.com The HP Deskjet and the HP LJ series II are using the PCL (Printer Command Language), I am not sure if the HP LJ and the HP LJ series II refering to the same printer. I have no book for the HP LJ, only HP LJ series 2.
