Hello,

   Lately we have received several postscript level 2 documents with level 2 
specific commands. Unfortunately our lab only owns postscript level 1 printers.
After a quick talk with our local postscript expert (expertise being relative 
to the knowledge of those surrounding the expert), I was under the impression
that it would be impossible to print the files. But a reading of FAQ's 11.32
and 11.33 suggests that there possibly exists a postscript driver capable of 
emulating or discarding level 2 commands from level 2 files so that they may be 
processed by level 1 printers. We use SunOS 4.1.3 and would like to know if 
any such driver exists for our environment. 

   Thank you, 

   Eric Masson
