PostScript Printer Q&A

Q. What's the difference between a PostScript printer and an ordinary one?

A. PostScript is a programming or page description language. It is a way of describing what a page should look like. A PostScript printer is one that understands the PostScript language and can print PostScript files, including EPS graphics - Encapsulated PostScript. While PostScript and EPS files are commonly used in desktop publishing, not everyone needs to print PostScript files or EPS graphics. So, the next question is, do you need a PostScript printer?
