yep, so imagine the havoc a quarkxpress document with placed pdfs can cause - i've seen hp rips hang and require a reboot. i've seen folks use hp for fpo (for position only) and get burned when proper output from vendor's real postscript rips don't match. don't get me wrong, i have a cheap brother that doesn't do real postscript - it's doing a great job at home. ;)
