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. JH – via Whap!
