Sample PostScript File
To sample PostScript’s versatility, type the following in a file,
using a text editor, exactly as it appears (with your name in the
places marked with italicized text). Any mistake results in an error
and no output is delivered.
Remember, you must first make a file in the text editor you are
using and then send the file to the printer.
