in reply to printing postscript in unix and windows

Postscript is 'straight text'---it just happens to be text that the printer recognizes as its own printer control language. There are complications on printers that handle both text and postscript, but once you get the printer into postscript mode, things should work from there.

    Not all printers understand postscript. For instance, my cheap HP inkjet doesn't (and I know well, having tried a few times to start a conversation).
