The question is: Who renders the image from the high-level description
in the Enhanced (?) MetaFile format of Windows. EMF is somewhere in
between a bitmap and postscript. No pure bitmap, and no real program
as you can do in postscript. EMF is generated by every Windows
application and handed over to the printer driver. This high-level
description has to be converted into something that the printer
understands, be it pcl or be it postscript or whatever. This is the
printer driver's work. The 'RAW' way is to let the client do the work,
the 'EMF' way is to let the server render the picture. RAW requires a
printer driver on the client, EMF only once on the server.
