Hi. I'm a new user. I have a piece of software from 1996 that I have to use to print check forms to a new IBM IM1332 Printer that supports PS Level 3 emulation. The software supports only PS Level 1 fonts like MICR and all the rest.

I'm having problems with the software (designed for Windows 3.0 and I'm using XP Pro) as it is and haven't been able to generate a test form to print to the printer - it's a headache, printer is in NC and I'm in NJ, and not on the same network...

I'm trying to argue for a software upgrade that won't happen, so I'm anticipating a problem with the printing, but don't know anything about PostScript.

So I guess my question is: Is PS Level 3 backwards compatible?
