Hello, just 2 questions... 1. Is there a program available that would let you emulate Epson printers on a HP Laser Jet II or III? 2. Does anyone have the Document file for the Laser Jet printers (The *.sfp font files) explaining the structure of the font files, I writing a program that would require me to use the font files. If you have any infos on any of the programs, please mail me whatever you have or direct me to a ftp site where I can find them. Thanks... kchiu@triton.unm.edu

HP has a very nice technical programmers guide to HP PCL V or whatever. It's available now,.... even for the HP III al -- Al.

Insight Dev. makes a product called LaserControl, which is a TSR that allows HP LJ's to look like a number of other, more simple-minded printers, like the Epson. The point is well-taken, though: do not expect it to produce beautiful 300dpi graphics. However, many programs only support Epson or IBM graphics printers, so there is a need (I needed it...).
