Postscript is not like RTF. RTF is way-ugly! :-)Hi, [sounding a bit "consultish" again, sorry] Jason shouldn't use Postscript to print documents with major image content, if this can be avoided : As you might already know Postscript converts images to a text representation , like the RichTextFormat (RTF). This causes these "ugly" multi-megabyte files mentioned by him.
It is possible to encode images in a binary format in PostScript, so that the resulting file is only slightly larger than the original JPEG image file. I've not done this in Java, but I have done it in C. You might want to take a look at PDFlib (http://www.pdflib.com/). PDF is just a specialized version of Postscript, after all.
Of course, there's still the problem of getting the file to the printer, and I can't help with that.
