Sorry, but you are also one of the people he should ignore. ;)
Ghostscript is designed to interpret PS files and render them to a bitmap
device (monitor/NON-postscript printer, etc.) If you have a PS file that
you need printed on a PS printer you can simply COPY IT TO PAR: or SER: and
be done with it. PS printers need no driver to print a PS file.
So you see, you CAN try out Postscript printing, you only need to create or
obtain some Postscript files.
That said, Turbo Print does offer excellent printer drivers and some of them
are for laser printers, so it could still be worth your while if you have an
HP or any of the PCL compatible lasers (most of them) and wish to use a PCL
driver with good control over the output. Not to mention the included
mini-publishing program that allows printing of multiple images and text on
the same page. No one is trying to steer anyone away from TurboPrint (I
find it to be quite good) just pointing out that it has NO value to someone
with only a Postscript printer.
