There are printers that print PostScript directly, but otherwise the PostScript file, which is created by all GNU/Linux, will require a conversion program, or driver, to translate PostScript commands into the specific printer commands. If you don't want to fuck around with drivers then just purchase a PostScript printer. And yes, PostScript is used to print images as well. So please, shut your fat ignoramus mouth. You know NOTHING about how printing is accomplished with GNU/Linux. Nothing. Furthermore, LibreOffice *can* produce high quality documents, but usually LaTeX DVI is converted to PostScript and then printed. In GNU/Linux, all printing is done via PostScript. So shut the fuck up. If I am wrong, which I am not, then explain, in detail, how printing is accomplished in GNU/Linux. But you cannot. So shut the fuck up. -- Systemd: solving all the problems that you never knew you had.
