Yes, I would think the FOP stuff would be on the application side -- i.e.,
they would process a document into PostScript (or for that matter, just
stream a PostScript file from disk), and then dump the PostScript directly to
the printer. The application would have to bear the responsibility of
obtaining printer-appropriate content; I was just suggesting a possible
means of doing so.
