Barbara,
	Am in the process of installing a HP OfficeJet on my GS and am 
having mixed results.

	The Fax and Copying portions of the OfficeJet work flawlessly, 
and I'm impressed with the quality of faxes being received. The setup of 
the OJ was fairly painless, also.

	Printing to it, is a different story. 

	Have had fair success printing to the OJ from ProTerm 3.1 using the 
Grappler+ driver (I have a Grappler+ installed in slot 2), but printing to 
it from AppleWorks 4.3 has initially been ugly. Still working that issue. 

	From GS/OS and using Harmonie v2.0, the first page of text comes 
out absolutely beautiful, the second page is major ugly with huge blocky 
letters. Strongly suspect that the v2.11 Harmonie upgrade will take care 
of that problem for me. Printing text one page at a time is a acceptable 
work-around for the time being.

	All-in-all, I'm very optimistic that the OfficeJet is going to 
prove itself to be a useful addition to our "family". Folks without 
access to a GS/Harmonie combo might want to wait until the 
AppleWorks/OfficeJet problems get worked out.
