Re: Printing directly to PS printer?

Let me add further to that question. If I convert the postscript file
into a PDF using ghostscript, is the original postscript still
contained in that PDF or has it been converted into something else?
If I then try to print that PDF file from adobe reader or something,
what is sent to the printer? Something close to my original
postscript, or is it downconverted to something else and then piped
through the HP postscript driver to be converted back again to
postscript?

i can't believe there is not a clean way to send postscript files/data
directly to a postscript printer *AND* control the behavior of the
printer for simple things like duplex, print quality, etc..
