Well, I can't help you on the hp2683A.
And, the 6670 has so much brain-damage that I won't discuss it in public.
** The HP LaserJet, now there's a beast worth driving; and we've done so.
   The output quality is unquestionably camera-ready, and the printer
   is quite affordable.
** We have available our Tplus package for it, BOTH as a post-processor
   for standard Troff, and a version for Ditroff (DWB).
   It includes full support for tbl & eqn, special chars., etc.
