Hi, For lack of a better place (and since I use FreeBSD) I am posting this here : Is there a good pointer to how Postscript Laser Printers work? I plan to buy one of these soon (possibly a HP Laserjet 4MV or a LEXMARK Optra R+) and need to figure out a) Are the memory simms on the laser printers any different from usual memory. b) Cost / pain involved in adding a postscript card to a non-postscript printer (eg the HP LaserJet 4V). c) Speedup obtained on going from 2MB memory to 4MB, 8MB. d) Peoples experience with the 4MV, 4V or the OPTRA. Out of curiosity : if fonts are stored on the ROM, for small / medium documents shouldn't 2MB perform as well as say 4MB or higher? Thanks in advance. --rohit.
