Postscript.dll [FHD]

So Microsoft built a translator.

If you have ever dug through the C:\Windows\System32 folder on a Windows PC—perhaps looking for a missing driver or trying to delete a stubborn piece of malware—you have probably seen it. Sitting quietly between powercfg.exe and powrprof.dll is a file called postscript.dll .

But there was a problem: PostScript printers were expensive. What if you had a cheap inkjet or a dot-matrix printer that didn't speak the language? Microsoft had a classic engineering dilemma. Windows needed to support the "pro" printing standard (PostScript), but most consumer printers didn't understand it.
