Open document formats

[David LeBlanc]

AFAIK, Windows still does not have "postscript drivers" unless you have a
driver for a postscript printer supplied by the printer vendor. Those are
typically HP Laserjets with a postcript engine built-in.

I have not seen, but have wanted and looked for, a "postscript to random
printer" driver for a long time. Ghostscript comes closest, but it's not
quite the same as a built-in driver.
