First time I tried to get printing working on Linux, I rapidly came to that conclusion. However, trawling through all the local computer vendors, none had any that did, and few knew anything about it. They were all Windows people - you install your XP drivers and it prints... Even when you look on-line, it can be hard to find a decent printer (one that you can afford, or even just manage to get supplied to where you are). They might list Linux compatibility, in some vague manner. Likewise, they might mention Postscript, again in a vague manner. Some don't give any clues about what printing language they use, others are misleading. I've got a couple of laser printers (and old and dependable HP LaserJet 4L, and an old and unreliable Kyocera FS-400), which I've seen reports that at least one of can handle Postscript, directly, and others that say they don't.
