It was magical when apple released the LaserWriter printer in 1985 that took postscript files. No need for custom drivers. You would think these days all printers would be driverless.
> Doesn't that require your printer to support Postscript? Not many printers for mere mortals support such advanced technology.
Most networked printers support Postscript, it's not a special feature like it used to be.
Sure, cheap USB inkjets usually don't, but with how cheap entry level networked lasers have been for the last decade or two there's no good reason to buy one of those things. They may be cheaper up front but within a few years the ink alone will make the difference.
