And now it seems that I'll be able to buy me a printer... I want to buy a HP DeskJet 500, as it is much cheaper than the NeXTLaser and one can use it with normal ink, which is better for our nature. My questions are: I know that there exists some filter for the DeskJet on the NeXT. But does this filter work for postscript as well? Do I have to buy a Postscript cartridge for the DeskJet to use it with postscript (this would be unneccassary expensive) Can I print "as if I have a NeXT Printer", out of the "Print..." panels? Do I need a special printcap entry? Can someone send me his/hers? How do I have to attach the DeskJet to the NeXT (serial cable, same as for the HP LaserJet as told in FAQ)? Can I use A4 instead of Letter? If there is some German who uses the DeskJet 500 (German version), could you contact me??? Please. So there are many questions, if you could help me, I'd be absolutely glad!!! And sorry again for the repost, but I didn't really expect being able to spend money for a printer... ;-) Thank you, Gerhard.
