I have the updated version 1.6, and the print to PostScript works.  I took
the resulting file to another machine, and just sent it to the PostScript
printer (does this make it "encapsulated"?).  I never tried it with version
1.5.  (PageStream 1.5 worked with most things, provided you kept the FONTS
disk in the drive.  So far, no gurus with 1.6, but I have managed to crash
[hang] it with loading pictures.  Good news:  it looks like you can remove the
fonts disk now. :-)

I don't know what you might need to do, but PageStream has some basic object
oriented drawing features.

I have no idea if the output is compatible with other programs.
