It is
my understanding that the printers that are PDF native, have a PDF RIP installed
in them. This means that a fee was paid to Adobe for the right of the
technology, just like postscript. If you have a PCL printer other than HP,
that company like Cannon paid HP for the it.

Visual TeX converts LaTeX directly into PDF. No Adobe, no PS, direct.
How they do that, I have no clue, only admiration.
