This makes me wonder. I am still doing conversion to PCL, either through 
grolj4 or Ghostscript, because the printer memory requirements are lower 
for printing PCL than PS (according to HP). Does anyone have some advise 
on what amount of printer memory would be OK for doing direct PS printing 
without too many printing delays? I have a LaserJet 5.
