Subject: Mac/LaserJet UpRev v1.1 


This is an update to the current article in info-mac/report
It should replace the file mac-laser-jet-up-rev.txt.

The Mac/LaserJet UpRev is a review kept current which 
addresses the problem of using a Hewlett Packard LaserJet
with Macintoshes, concentrating primarily on the original
LaserJet series II. This is version 1.1, and is a major revision.
More than twice the number of products are described and reviewed.

The Uneasy Marriage : using an HP LaserJet series II with a
Macintosh

Introduction:

The LaserJet series II is a sturdily built machine, and many of the
originals been humming along for quite some time. The one we have
in the lab served us quite well for basic word processing with some
PC clones for some years. With the arrival of the Macintosh IIsi,
however, we were suddenly confronted with the problem of printing
using the LaserJet. The option of purchasing a new printer was out
of the question, and, in the process of determining the best
solution for the current dilemma, I found out that there are many
users in similar situations. This documents the different solutions
I have found to using a LaserJet II (and other low end models) with
a Macintosh in what I call an updatable review: a simple text
document with version numbers to keep it up to date. 

This is version is 1.1, first released on May 28, 1992. There are
many new revisions in this version, particularly descriptions of
some new products, and very helpful responses from other people.
While I probably did not expend much time programming this, I did
spend quite some time researching and calling and writing to
companies and reading to write this, so, if this up-rev has helped
you, please drop me a line. If you have any further information,
please forward them to me. Contact information at the end of this
document. In the future, I plan to write this into a Hypercard
stack, so hang in there!
