Expressed in other > words: what usually happens when one sends PDF to PostScript printer? > Does it print the document almost-natively or not? Typically your viewer (e.g. Adobe Reader) or your printing system (e.g. CUPS) converts it to PostScript. Or your printer has a PDF RIP (rare). Then there are two possibilities: - the PDF RIP converts the PDF to PostScript and feeds it to it's PostScript RIP (this is the norm with most Adobe PDF RIPs). This is the reason that printers with PDF RIPs often also have a harddisc. - the PDF gets directly interpreted by a PDF RIP (JAWS, Harlequin and newer Adobe PDF RIPs do this).
