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.
