Question UNIX and PostScript

Hi!

Iīm wondering if itīs possible to use PostScript in UNIX. I have a client that want to install a HP ColorPro GA in a UNIX network and I donīt have any experience about UNIX. Is UNIX using PostScrip by deafault, like a Mac or does he need to install some form of RIP?

Best regards <Therapy>

Absolutely you can 'use postscript'. However, the term 'using postscript' is ambiguous. Do you mean view postscript docs? (the answer is yes) Do you mean create postscript docs (again, the answer is yes) or Do you mean print postscript docs? (answer yes, again).
