I remember back in the days of "early" Linux, when printer drivers were still a bit rare, there was lots of software that generated somewhat readable PS, i.e. the programmers wrote it and then used it as a template, like you'd be using HTML templates nowadays. The timetables for a German railway info site did that.
And I made heavy use of Jamie Zawinski's audio-tape.ps [1] back then. Never got through Thinking in PostScript [2] completely, though…
