then explain me this; why is it the case that whenever i print to a
postscript file from a microsoft application it claims that it is
postscript 3.0?

why do these "device-independent" _never_ print correctly when one
sends them to a standard postscript printer? (yes, yes, i _know_
about font downloading, 95's X-thousand print drivers, etc. etc.).
