Printer manufacturers have algorithms that store the rendered PostScript image in compressed raster form, and expand the raster data on the way to the print engine.
Which is cool until the image can't be compressed and degrades due to lack of memory.
Had one of those printers--do not want again. There is no substitute for having RAM when rendering postscript.
Early counterexample -- the Apple Laserwriter had much more processing power and memory than the computers it was originally connected to.
And cost somewhere between 4x and 10x those same computers, if you recall. Not much of a counterexample.
