The salesman was full of shit.  You can HP's off GS easily.  I know
for certain that the HP has a parallel slot to hook a parallel card up
to and I'm pretty sure I heard somebody say that some HPs have a serial
port to connect to - i.e. you can use the GS printer port.

I assume the salesman she spoke to didn't know jack shit bout Apples.

I have a Panasonic KXP-1124 (24 pin) and with TrueType fonts and the
Harmonie driver I get some REAL nice printouts.
