[hacknews] brain transplant on hp1

Laser printer #1 has been upgraded to a LaserJet Plus.  Some quick testing
indicates that the claim of much more memory available is in fact true, but
limitations on the number of patches of graphics on a single line remain.
That, fortunately, can (in principle) be fixed in software.

Apart from slightly different labels on the control panel, the one visible
difference in behavior is that the LJ+ flashes its READY light while it is
receiving data, rather than while it's warming up.

Stay tuned for further results.
