Hello! Here is a technical question: wt is necessary to upgrade a HP Laserjet series II for use with the Mac? Preferably, we involve the PostScript function. Any suggestions? Is it even feasible? :-) Thanks for all replies. If I get enough, I'll post a summary. -rich Richard Sucgang : Dept. of Anatomy and Cell Biology Columbia University (sucgang@cuhhca.hhmi.columbia.edu; de slime god rs54@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu)

You need a mac plus to immagewriter I cable, and a software driver. I use MacPrint (version 1.2 or above) for speed, and Freedom Of The Press Light when I want to play with PostScript. Both are somewhat slow, but both do work. You will need at least 1 meg of memory in your printer to print a full screen of graphics. -john- -- ============================================================================= John A.

Is it even feasible? :-) You will need the Postscript cartridge # 33439P ABA, the Appletalk I/O card #33417A, and at least 2 Meg memory expansion, which can be had for around $100 from Chip Merchant or some other 3rd party vendor. -- == Marvin Jones === DSC Corp./Optilink Access Products === Petaluma, CA ==== == uucp: {uunet, tekbspa, pyramid}!optilink!jones ==== Ph. 707.792.7206 ==== == CIS: 71320,3637 or 71320.3637@compuserve.com ====== AOL: mjones =========
