Mainly text, with a few graphics now and again. Occasionally photos, although I
would only print these if I had a decent colour printer, otherwise I wouldn't
bother.
The sort of things I would print would be CD covers for the CD's I burn,
documentation for shareware software, and also Linux installation guides - hard
to read electronic docs when you are halfway through an install!

HP's web site is not very helpful at telling you what printers support
postscript :-(

The main reason for including a postscript laser as an option is that I runb
Linux (Debian PPC) and would also like to use the printer through this.
Postscript printers tend to be better supported.
thanks for the response - you've given me some stuff to think about :-)
