I use the HP Laserjet series III printer for various things including a
hobby newsletter. I use it with PageStream and I gotta be honest with you.
The output suits me just fine. Graphics and fonts (using pagestream) look
great, especially if you ue structured art. The resolution enhancement
seems to work even though I am using the standard HP LJII driver, or maybe
its just my imagination. I am just using the standard fonts that come with
PageStream 2.1, and haven't tried it with any of the other fonts that have
been offered here. If you find that you need postscript, the HP LJIII lets
you add it later via cartridge, but I haven't tried that yet so can't help
you there. If you are going to do full page printing you will need some
extra ram, but you don't have to buy the over-priced ram cartridges sold by
HP. There are third party hardware makers of these boards. I put an
additional 2 megs of memory in mine for less than $300, and I haven't had
any trouble with the printer running out of memory and prematurely
outputting a page. From what I have seen, I don't believe you can go wrong
with the LJ III.
