 Incidently the HP 1220 has no DOS support but it prints perfectly from
DOS programs using most any HP printer driver back to the HP II.
 But at $399 typical y it is a little rich for most home users. But it
is a Very Nice little laser printer. And at 15 PPM quite a bit faster
then yuor 4L or my 5P model.
