The following just whizzed by on the BBN bboard:

    Some of you may know that QMS (the manufacturer of most of the
    larger laser printers around BBN) recently acquired Imagen (another
    laser printer manufacturer). Consequently they are trying to
    convince us to buy some Imagen printers. Imagen printers have a lot
    of nice features... However instead of using the standard, Adobe,
    implementation of the Postscript language they implement a
    Postscript clone, called Ultrascript...

    Therefore we are trying to collect samples of Postscript output to
    use as test cases. ...

Three things:
  a) Anyone have any opinions on the Imagen engines?
  b) Can anyone tell me something about "Ultrascript"?
  c) if you have any "favorite" PostScript torture programs, I wouldn't mind
  seeing them!  (I have a couple of graphics hacks that eat up about
  twenty minutes of printer-CPU-time to print...it'll be interesting
  to see if the Imagen does them faster/slower/notatall.

  Thanks
