Hi, Maybe someone could clear this up for me.... I was told by a co-worker that he is *not so into* HP printers anymore because they no longer run legacy postscript, instead HP now has a postscript emulator, so that they do not have to deal with Adobe licensing etc. If anyone has two-cents to add to this, I am willing to listen with open ears!! I try not to spend 40 percent of my day dealing with printing and printing related isssues (hardware, software, accounting, someone trying to fudge the accounting, someone trying to print a4 on ledger paper, someone insisting that there is a problem with printing and so on and so forth it continues) but as of lately I have been spending that 40 percent. I thank you all for your feedback.
