I recently passed on an inaccuracy, by Email, to
someone who posted here. I went to see the new LS,
for which all the preprocessing is done in the Mac.
So I told someone, though I think I qualified it
by saying I wasn't sure if it always worked this
way, that it might work that way with other printers.

This morning I spoke to our local Apple Rep. She
isn't totally clear on the technicalities, but
apparently more powerful printers do the processing
in the printer as with PostScript. However, you don't
need any special TrueType capability built into the
printer to do it as you do with PostScript.
