It appears that "ps" is no-longer the format of choice but is being
replaced by PDF, a format that is natively supported by many printers.
In addition, there is an active project creating a wrapper framework for
the manufacturer's Windows/Mac OS X drivers, like the ndiswrapper for
WLAN cards, which is something I suggested a long time ago.
