savin 9021d installing post script

It also stands for Machine Address Code which is the term I have always heard. MAC address has always sounded redundant to me.

I like that definition better, too!

When I took my Net+ training back in 2011, it was Media Access Control then, at least in the course materials we used.

Bit differant across the pond then, only ‘Mac’ users need a PS card over here! But never seen one installed on a B/W printer.

Linux and UNIX pretty much only do PostScript, too. VERY little PCL.

I remember a few years ago, there was a Konica Minolta Fiery that was PostScript only, and offered PCL as an option. That was a Color MFP.

Going back almost 20 years, the Canon iR600 (and the printer only version, the iR60) were PostScript only with the early version. Those were B&W, with embedded Fiery controllers. I think version 2.x gave it PCL.

A lot has changed in this industry over 20 years!

Quite true, but PostScript isn't going away any time soon.

It can do things that PCL (including version 6) simply can't.
