I'm currently looking into printers, and I don't understand what the difference
between a "true" postcript printer, an "ATM" printer, and a printer that can
handle type-1 fonts is.  If a printer claims to be postscript-compatible, does
that just mean that the manufacturer bundled Adobe Type Manager with it?!

			Yours perplexed,
