Well, we've got a very buggy ancient release of UltraScript on an Imagen
XP7320 printer.  The upgrade cost: $4505 + $650 installation (Canadian $).

To be fair, the upgrade is expensive because it requires new hardware.
But still, it would cost us >$5,000 to run the current release of UltraScript.
And I just can't convince my management to go for this because we still
won't have true Adobe PostScript.  They say things like: 'Don't throw
good money after bad.'
