Device-indpendence does have a down side too:-).  Seriously, it's not
as clear cut as that.  On some (many?) printers you can look at the
value of processcolors to see how many primary inks your device
thinks it's got.  Trouble is, on devices that can produce both
colour and mono output, this can be a read/write value that you can
change to tell the printer what you want....  In recent interpreters
there may be a thing called deviceinfo available, which is descrbied
briefly in the Red Book II.
