I've been using the Apple Laserwriter driver since it was
one of the first postscript printers available for desktop
publishing.

WP comes with many postscript printer drivers.  I've installed
a few and the resultant .PRS files are similar in size.
This has led me to conclude that WP has only ONE postscript
driver and the difference is only in the printer name and
printer specific info like the no. and names of fonts available
for each printer.  Can anyone confirm this??

I actually hope that I'm wrong because I've been looking 
for a WP driver that outputs DSC compliant postscript but
haven't found one yet.  If anyone has any info on this, 
can you please email or post?  Thanks.

Edwin
