Norm… Roy is right. I use PageStream which does a remarkably good job of
printing to non-postscript printers (including my HP LJ II compatible) and
I STILL end up sending all of my important stuff out to be printed on a
postscript laser or linotronic.
If you don't want to spend the money on postscript now, than make sure you
get a laser that is relatively easy (and inexpensive) to up grade to
postscript in the future.
The TI Microlaser (non-postscript) can be upgraded by adding a couple megs
of memory and a new controller board.
The HP laserjet series II is great, and can be upgraded to PS by adding a 2
meg memory board ($189 mailorder) and a PS cartridge (another $249
mailorder). But HP dolesn't sell series II's anymore.
Epson has a new model out (7500?) taht can be upgraded and I think it sells
in its non-ps mode for under $1000. But I don't know much about it.
