]Two questions:
 
(Don't know the answer to the first one.)

]2.  Could somebody recommend a book or books on Postscript?  I could use both
]a textbook or user guide, and a reference manual? 

Adobe Systems, via Addison-Wesley, publishes three books, often referred to
by their colors:

The Blue Book:
   PostScript Language Tutorial and Cookbook
The Green Book:
   PostScript Language Program Design
The Red Book:
   PostScript Language Reference Manual

All are excellent; at a minimum you would want Blue and Red.  I've only
had a PostScript printer a short time, and I've really enjoyed playing
with it.
