Since our native world is a gas giant, we tend to habitat the moons

I know that. But those printers have their own implementations of
printer standards such as postscript. When the day comes that you need
to troubleshoot why application XYZ prints fine, but project ABC can't
print, you'll now know why. I really don't know the details (I'm
mechanical engineering, not CS) but we both know what happens when an
application uses it's own non-standard version of the "standards"
(*cough*Internet Explorer*cough*).
