(Sorry for the double post but I realised that I
neglected to put in a subject.)

I have been looking at a new HP Laserjet 1300 printer
and have a few questions which the salesman was unable
to answer. I bet there is someone on the list who can
answer them for me, so please offer your
recommendations.

1) 
There are 2 models of the 1300, one with ethernet
built in, which is $200 more expensive than the other.
There are external "print server" boxes which sell for
$50 and feed the parallel signal to the printer while
offering an ethernet socket to the network. Do you
think the "overhead" of the "server box" would be
noticable to a typical "moderate" user like myself? (I
have so many places I could put the $150 difference in
cost, assuming that I could live with the results.)   

2)
The model states it uses the HP language to "emulate"
Postscript 2. I only have experience with the
Laserwriter II, which to my understanding uses the
original Postscript. Will the emulater truely be
faithful to a "licensed Postscrip chip" results and
will the overhead questions of emulation noticably bog
down the process?

I welcome your recommendations.
