Interesting.  I poked around a bit more on the HP site, but I think the
easiest way to check this would be to print a document to various paper
trays, etc, from Windows to a file and see if the .ps has anything
interesting in it. 

As for the document resolution, I was assuming it was full, but I could
tell if I could switch it and see the difference.  I would imagine there
are other things that are changable too, but I wasn't sure if they were
embedded into the postscript or not.

Thanks for the info
