Not really. A printer specific postscript file contains bitmap fonts at the printer resolution that where generated from the metafont source. A printer independent file contains outline Postscript fonts, which are converted to bitmap at the printer resolution when the file is printed (either by the printer or by ghostscript). There is no reason to assume that there will be a distinguishable difference between these two options.
