#96479 - PS, PCL
Responding to: ???'s previous message

only Postscript (tm) printers get Postscript input.

True; however, some HP LaserjetTM printers do have a PostscriptTM option/upgrade. No doubt the same applies to other makes/models...?

The other common standard (cheaper and less efficient that PS) is PCL

PCL started as HP's proprietary standard - it has had many revisions, and is emulated by many non-HP printers.
I don't know whether HP have officially made it an "Open" standard by now, but I'm sure any internet search engine will overwhelm you with information about it...!
