Paul H wrote a very good article Re: PostScript vs. Non-PoscScript
laser printers.

The bottom line really is, the PS printer is definitly more expensive
and you definitly get what you pay for.

The thing he didnt mention is that if you want to do some serious
typesetting, you can take the very same PostScript file that make your
PS printer work and mail/UUCP/xmodem them to a service bureau
and get linotronic phototypesetter output. At 1250 or 2540 dpi.

The difference between Linotronic output and Laser output
is like the difference betwee Laser output and (9-pin) Dot
matrix output.
