Re: Any advice on PostScript printers?

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

The LaserJet 4L did have a version with PostScript, the LaserJet 4ML, with
a slighter beefier controller and more memory. You could upgrade the 4L to
what I could best describe as a 4ML-, i.e., the same controller as a 4L, but
without the controller enhancement. You would also need more memory.
But HP certainly does not sell that upgrade to a printer that has been
discontinued for at least eight years or so. And compared to today's
printers, speed and print quality would leave very, very much to be desired.

The OfficeJet does not have a PostScript "upgrade" or option.

Personally I would recommend Xerox laser printers except the Phaser 3400 because
unlike the brand to which you claim to be partial, they have Adobe PostScript,
not some very problematic third party "emulation."
