Instant PostScript: PacificPage

Article Abstract:

PacificPage, from Pacific Data Products, is a $695 cartridge that brings PostScript compatibility to the LaserJet II and IIp printers. The unit is easy to install and use, but lacks the ability to switch automatically from PCL to PostScript mode. The minimum memory requirement of 2.5Mbytes may necessitate an expensive memory upgrade, but it will still be less than the cost of a PostScript compatible. Low cost, speed and ease of use make the PacificPage cartridge a good choice for LaserJet owners in need of PostScript compatibility, and earn the PacificPage cartridge 4.5 of a possible five stars.
