Hi !
Does anyone use Postscript with the New HP IIID ? If so, is
there any software that could "auto-select" the printer to work in
either HPGL or postscript without manually plugging in/out the
cartridge. This is b/c the printer is on a Novell Network and the
software to be loaded must somehow understand Novell... What is you
recommendation for a postscript interface/ software ?
Secondly, is the WP driver for the IIID out yet ???
Thank you in advance.

I was very impressed to find that the 90-09-06 14:16 version of WP 5.1 contains printer support for the HP LJ IIID. I don't think I heard about the printer before then! WP can help you get just the printer support files, if that's all you need, or you can upgrade to this latest "interim" release.

I allways recommend the HP PS cartridge but it doesn't let you select either PS or PCL/GL modes, just forces PS mode only. But at least its true PS. If you decide to go this route, use WordPerfect's IID PS driver. > Secondly, is the WP driver for the IIID out yet ??? Yes, it comes on the latest printer drivers dated 8/24/90. If you call and ask for the driver, they might send it to you for free. Otherwise its $10 for the first 5 disks, and $1 per disk after the 5th (5.25" disks). So if you asked for all 14 printer disks (printer disks 1 to 13 plus the user- contrib), it would put you back $19. Bob Bob Kusumoto | Find the electric messiah!
