Thanks for the reply. If DSC is only a comment and can not do anything of itself then I guess that is not what I am looking for.

Is the PPD the actual postscript file?

One of the things I am trying to accomplish- if I have a document with mostly static data and then an address block as the variable data. If I send this down as a unique page for each new address I have a huge file size. Would it be possible to structure a postscript file to read the static data only once and then read in the variable data.

Would I do this with the PPD file.

Thanks
