No.

The actual "driver" is the piece of software
(usually a program running on the Linux machine)
which converts PostScript into printer-specific data.

You may have a look at the CUPS documentation or see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
"PPD Files" versus "The Filter"
and perhaps even have a look at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Filters_to_Print_with_CUPS
"CUPS Filter System Background Information"


Kind Regards
