I'm not looking to radically re-structure my printing needs. I'm just mentioning that I had heard ("many people have said"?) that .pdf's may print faster if you use a postscript driver for your printer.

No, I haven't used PS in a long time - when I load a driver for a printer it sometimes gets the PS driver loaded automatically, so I have it but I don't have a real use for it. The only time I use PS is when printing to my Xerox solid ink printer, which seems (to me) to do a better job on photos than PCL.

I'm just wondering if there's any truth to what I heard, or is it something that was true at one time but not so much today, or what? That's the question.
