All GNU/Linux software should produce PostScript output for

Why? You are shooting things without argument. Why is PostScript better
than everything else? For example, when you want to print a picture why
should it be converted to PostScript? If your software is a bad quality
one, the output will be shit whichever format you chose.
 

You are a total idiot.

PostScript is the lingua franca of Unix, and hence GNU/Linux.

There are printers that print PostScript directly, but otherwise
the PostScript file, which is created by all GNU/Linux, will
require a conversion program, or driver, to translate PostScript
commands into the specific printer commands.

If you don't want to fuck around with drivers then just purchase
a PostScript printer.

And yes, PostScript is used to print images as well.

So please, shut your fat ignoramus mouth.  You know NOTHING about
how printing is accomplished with GNU/Linux.  Nothing.

Furthermore, LibreOffice *can* produce high quality documents,
but usually LaTeX DVI is converted to PostScript and then printed.

In GNU/Linux, all printing is done via PostScript.

So shut the fuck up.

If I am wrong, which I am not, then explain, in detail, how
printing is accomplished in GNU/Linux.

But you cannot.

So shut the fuck up.
