News to me. AFAIK, nearly all home printers are inkjets and there
aren't any printers of that type that support PostScript. Even the
majority of laser printers don't support PS but instead use PCL or
some other proprietary language (PS being too expensive to license and
requiring a lot more RAM and CPU power than the alternatives). Even
that minority of laser printers that do support PS also have the
proprietary language and are frequently set up such that they default
to using the proprietary language unless you make some changes at the
control panel. Or am I misinformed somehow?
