Sorry, but there's a misunderstanding here : the only thing I need is a MC
feature that allows me to talk to the printer.
As for generating PostScript on the fly, I will take care of that myself when
coding my scripts (as I master both PS and MetaTalk).
But this feature isn't reserved to ppl who master PostScript : as I wrote
before,
you can imagine to have various ready-made PS of PDF files (made in other
applications) that you can read and then download to the printer for great
printings...
Hope things are more clear now...
