A PS driver would appeal to a lot more people than OP users.

When all that discussion was going on, the direct PS output in OPW 
didn't exist. The idea was that once it did people could try it out and 
see if it actually did what they hoped. No one has come back to me and 
said "OPW PS is better (or worse) that RISC OS".

CMYK is another step. My thoughts on level 3 drivers have been that 
you'd get a lot for little effort.

I was going to say it would be too complex. It does involve applications 
being changed. But thinking about it, you only need one interface to set 
a CMYK colour.
