If I recall, both didn't insert the required comments (actually spooler commands) into their Postscript output. Otherwise, it would make "printing" these files really easy from real hardware or from GSport/GSplus. In other news, the GS/OS LaserWriter driver is now fully supported, even in its stock un-patched state. Getting that to work was a headache! GhostPCL now also properly supports color output from DeskJet 550C drivers as well.
