The first time I came across HP's Postscript emulation was in 1999, when 
I bought a LaserJet 2100M.  The emulated models were substantially 
cheaper and that meant that for the first time, a Postscript capable 
printer came within my budget for home use.

There were known bugs in the emulation back then, and HP had promised a 
free replacement chip, but I never came across anyone who was successful 
in obtaining it.
