		By 2001 there were fewer printer models which came with support for PostScript, largely as a result of the increasing power of the built-in printing systems supplied with most operating systems.
		PostScript went beyond the typical printer control language, and was a complete programming language of its own.
		PostScript is also noteworthy for implementing on-the fly rasterisation; everything, even text, is specified in terms of straight lines and cubic Bézier curves (previously found only in CAD applications), which allows arbitrary scaling, rotating and other transformations.

		A laser printer works by transferring tiny ink particles contained in a toner cartridge to paper via a rubber belt.
		Printers may be classified as impact printers (such as daisywheel and dot matrix printers), which form characters by striking an inked ribbon against the paper, and non-impact printers (such as ink-jet and laser printers), which use a variety of techniques to produce characters without physical impact on the paper.
		A further classification is based on the basic unit of printing, and categorizes printers as character printers, line printers, or page printers, according to whether they print one character, one line, or a complete page at a time.
