That YOU are the JERK (no reading comprehension) is well-defined....

What does a printer have to do with inserting a PostScript graphic into Word?

Not that I don't have PostScript printing capability... an hp1320 does both PCL and PS.

Jim Thompson hath wroth:

Drivel: Note that the HP 1320 and similar printers use a Postscript emulator, that converts PS to PCL6 internally. It's like having GhostScript in firmware. For all I know (not sure), it may even be GhostScript in ROM. The last HP printers with real Postscript engines were the 4MV and 6MP.

So what's the difference, other than the "PostScript" interpreter not being "Adobe(TM) PostScript(TM)"?
