I think you're a wee bit confused here.  The purpose of NeWSprint is to 
interpret the postscript.   If you're using one of the Sparcprinters that 
connects to the video port, you have to use NP to interpret the PS and 
convert it to a video signal that is sent to the printer....The printer 
itself has no way of processing postscript.  In fact, the older 
Sparcprinters have no processing power in them at all.

                a communication medium with revolutionary intellectual
                potential being used mostly as a global graffiti board.
