True or false: The DeskJet IIIP with PostScript cartridge (just announced) DOES NOT utilize the resolution enhancement technology available in the IIIP. And the corollary: There is no major benefit for a Mac user of a IIIP + PostScript over a IIP + PostScript. (Both of these scenarios are with HP's PostScript cartridge; I tend to doubt that a third party cartridge would use advanced HP features...) Thanks for the help, Greg Sorensen sorensen@athena.mit.edu

We have a HP LaserJet IIIP with an Adobe PS Cartridge connected to a Mac
Plus and it certainly does take advantage of the resolution enhancement.

The Laserjet III, IIIp, and IIIsi all use the Resolution-Enhancement Technology (RET) regardless of the printer control language. We are using a LJIII here at UF with an HP PostScript cartridge and the HP drivers (chooser documents). In all of the "print..." dialog boxes there is a pull-down menu to select the RET: light, medium, dark, off, or printer default. Also, while in PostScript mode the standard control-panel is still active on the LJ; you can set the RET at the printer as well. We have been very pleased with the LJIII; it has had no trouble printing anything we've given it, and it does print some things (some detailed Pagemaker documents, for example) that our Laserwriter IINT doesn't.
