I suppose so.    It's fine when it works.    But when it doesn't
work, what then?    By the way, I have already been informed of
my dinosaur status in this regard . . .

I suppose the question I should really ask is:  what does PDF
provide that PostScript does not?

That one I don't know about --- I would like to know more.
Right now I use MacGhostView (from Tom Kiffe) to view PostScript
and to print to the InkJet.    How would one go about printing
directly to an InkJet?    If I start with PostScript, it seems
that somewhere in the pipeline between the file system and the
print engine, there has to be a PostScript interpreter of some
sort, and I don't see that, say, the Epson Stylus 960 has a
built in PostScript engine . . .

     Cheers,
