Even if she's printing in-house, if there's something in the file that
requires PostScript (EPS graphics for example), then a non-PostScript
driver would cause a degraded printout.  Since she specifically asked
for a PostScript-based application to start with, I assumed there was
some reason.

It becomes more important for service bureaus, of course, since many
high-end devices won't take files in any format other than PostScript
-- but that wasn't the issue I was addressing.

I love ClickBooks (enough so that I bought my own copy for home use),
but I've been caught short a couple of times because it isn't
PostScript-based.
