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 :-)

Cheers, Carlos.
