     Go for it!  It's a lovely little machine.  My wife uses one for
professional desktop publishing (using ProPage) and gets excellent
results.  Just select the HP LaserJet driver and away you go.

     More memory is a good idea if you can afford it.  If not, you
can always add it in later.  The printer comes with 512K standard,
we added another 3 megs and have no problems at all.  We've also
added the Pacific Page PostScript cartridge - ProPage works just
fine with it too, although now we select PostScript output instead
of dot matrix, so the LaserJet driver isn't needed any more.

     BTW I can't make WordPerfect work with PostScript - if anyone
has any pointers for me, I'd appreciate hearing them.

	I'm considering buying a HP IIp laser printer for my Amiga.  Is
anyone using this printer now?  What wb 1.3 driver are you using?  Are
you happy with the results?  Any recommendations (more memory, custom
driver (third party)) etc. ?
