This is *not* true.  The LaserWriter printer is a "real" Postscript
printer;  the Laserwriter driver produces "real" Postscript.

Perhaps the confusion is that the mapping between QuickDraw commands
and their Postscript equivalents is not always perfect.  Microsoft
Chart is the best known offender in this regard:  I've seen many
graphs where the connecting lines were present, but the data points
were gone.
