    Summary: PostScript interpreter and renderer, most printer drivers
    Description: 
    Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM) interpreter,
    a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the
    graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for
    Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code
    into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer
    or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to
    print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers.
    Most applications use PostScript for printer output.
    
    In addition, the package contains filters which transfer the raw
    bitmap of GhostScript into the protocol of some additional printer
    models.
    
    You should install ghostscript if you need to display PostScript files, or
    if you have a non-PostScript printer.
