Postscript may be printed on the Xerox 4050F (and 9000F, 4135, DTech as 
well) printers with software from Entire (Entire Fibre 400) which is 
written for Unix (SunOS) converts the Postscript page to a *.IMG file, 
adds the Interpress info and sends it to the controller, and is 
subsequently processed by the graphics handling subsystem (GHO or its 
successor - GVG) for output to the printer. Graphics handling is the 
only option required, unless network access is used, where the 
appropriate interface would be required. For PC platforms, I think there 
used to be a product called 'Elixir' that does the conversion, but don't 
hold me to it. I do remember seeing it available on the internal order 
system, but we never used it, so I don't know for sure of it's 
capabilities/limitations. Try Xerox Cust Svc for more info. 
Anyway, I hope this helps.  Feel free to email me if more questions on 
4050F stuff.
