I've never heard of anyone suggesting you could copy data from one port to another, if only because there's no such thing as an open file in postscript.
Actually, PostScript does have open files; find a Red Book, look up the "file" operator, and follow the pointers to elsewhere. (Many/most PostScript-capable devices do not have anything of significance by way of a filesystem, but that's a different issue entirely.)
Of course if you had a postscript printer AND a the postscript cookbooks you'd instantly get a better understanding.
And if you actually read the Red Book, _you_'d get a better understanding. In the Second Edition Red Book, for example, you'd want to read section 3.8, "File Input and Output". /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents montreal qc ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
