The idea was to be compatible with lasers and such.  I've not seen any
printers which support JDF, but all of the ones which support pcl (w/
or w/o ps or pdf) seem to use PJL to control options and specify jobs'
languages.  (The PPDs for cups mostly use ps and setpagedevice, but
would need to use PJL were they to send pdf to the printer.)

But a job ticket of some sort is better than just raw pdf.
