Hi,
As I see you talking about postscript, I want to pop a question that
might be a bit offtopic, as it is about modern computing.
context: Linux
Printers talked postscript. Now I hear they talk PDF. I know that it is trivial to convert from ps to pdf. Do programs that want to print
generate the PDF directly, or do they generate the ps and then convert
it to pdf?
It also occurs to me to ask what is the advantage for printers of
talking pdf instead of ps.
Thanks :-)
