So, what gives with this DDL page description language that Imagen is touting?
I have also heard that HP will ship something with DDL.  My own suspicion is
that Imagen is afraid of adopting PostScript because they fear that the laser
printer market would become a commodity market where competition was based
primarily on price, performance and service.  Would some of the erudite members
of this list care to describe the salient features of DDL and compare it with
PostScript?
