If you are generating your own postscript, then you can specify level 2 and
be fine. Level 3, no surprise, supports more language features. Most of
these are to improve efficiency. Level 2 interpreters work well enough,
assuming you don't feed them the newer postscript commands. If you have a
PPD, the highest postscript level supported is specified by the file, and
the generator will "dumb" the code down as low as necessary.
Now if something else already generated the .ps files, supporting the newer
level 3 commands might be more important (unless you know they stuck to
level 2). But you are probably just interested in postscript you generate
yourself.
