You don't need Post to print Postscript files, FinalWriter will print postscript
files created with EqEd no problem, although I do agree that an integrated
formula editor would be a better solution. Pagestream bypasses the Amiga printer
drivers and uses its own custom printer drivers, outputting to PAR: (at least
with 2.22).
