>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.

DSC is a comment. There exist "spoolers" - software that reads the DSC
comments and automatically inserts real code.  You would need to know
if you were using one of these.

No, the PPD is the Printer Description File. Search for *.PPD on your
hard disk to look for examples.

>Would it be possible to structure a postscript file to read the static data only once and then read in the variable data.

You could hand-code the PostScript to put the common information into
a procedure that you call over and over. It is rarely possible, or at
least simple, to adapt a pre-existing PostScript file to this usage.

No, the PPD file contains the information you need to control your
device, that's all.
