It's a pretty safe bet that he doesn't use it in the way that you implied
(i.e. by typing raw postscript directly at a printers input port) since
no one in their right mind would do that.  What's wrong with using a computer
editor (which most people would already have and know how to use) to
manipulate the postscript code instead of expecting the printer to provide
one?
