  I'm thinking of buying an HP LaserJet 5L.  I
will use it to print PostScript documents (via
ghostscript) on my FreeBSD 2.1 system, and also
probably once a while with various MS-DOG and 
Windows applications.

  I assume there are people out there who have
done the same -- any comments, favorable or
otherwise?  Any problems printing PostScript
documents using ghostscript?  Is memory size
an issue?

  Thanks in advance for any comments.
