PostScript : Computer Hardware Buyers’ Glossary  PostScript
printers have intelligence. The computer can send them a compact
computer program mathematically describing the image to produce,
then the printer itself composes the tiny dots that form the
image, and prints it. In contrast, with most non-Postscript
printers, the computer has to compose the dots, then
labouriously send the millions upon millions of them over to the
printer. If you send the same PostScript computer program to a
typesetter, you will get the same results, except with finer
detail. With a non-PostScript printer there will be many small
differences, including different line endings and page breaks.
