Having been indoctrinated to Unix some good many years ago with SysV (Interactive 2.01), I have over the years wondered *WHY*, if in a modern environment the print language of Unix has not changed from postscript to PCL, or other language common to today's printers. Granted, the print converters and postscript interpreters are pretty good, it would appear to me that maybe with all the gui changes that have occured to both *BSD and Linux, there should be native support for these printers.. (Ever try to find an inexpensive PS printer nowdays?) Just a wild thought.. anybody care to share your thoughts?
