I was warning, just like you warned about the color management RIPS that can't shape halftones, (ColorBurst for instance), that there are plenty of laser printers I have run into that CAN print Postscript, you just can't modify the LPI commands.
"The firmware of the HP Color LaserJet 1500 and 2500 series printers will not permit custom LPI or halftone commands; therefore, these products will not recognize or accept custom LPI or halftone settings. HP feels this constraint provides the best possible print quality in a multitude of printing scenarios."
Alas, not for screen printing positives.
- this is the only manual or reference I can find right now.
Just beware. All anyone has to do is ask for a test print with a low LPI and odd angle to prove an printer designed for office output can accept halftone commands and deposit enough tone to stop UV-A energy.
