- No, not at all. the PostScript support is merely a PostScript printer
- driver, which the Mac has had for six years. When you print something
- with the PostScript printer driver chosen in Prefs, PostScript code is
- generated. The PS driver will be useless for you if you do not own a PS
- printer. (You could route the output to an interpreter, but it would be
- easier to use a straight driver for your printer)
