Wirt,
This is really off the list topic, but it might clarify for some of us.
I have often heard good things about Postscipt, but it is not my
experience from using it with PCs and MS Windows.
If you know, why do MS Windows printer drivers take so long to
produce postscript and so little time to produce PCL?
Also, postscript seems to require mega-memory on printers compared
to PCL.
