A bit off topic (but more related to this group), wouldn't it be better
to integrate a PostScript to <whatever printer> converter into a queue
processor and use it with the normal PSCRIPT driver? Isn't the queue
processor the part which gets the PS from the spool file (the PSCRIPT
driver puts it there) and sends it to the port?
