Right, but how about pointing me to something recent, which works?;).

Right, Postscript is hassle free, but isn't it so that you really pay
royalties for using that language?. 

Any way, that printer I listed, HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf, advertises
Postscript 3 emulation. Is that somehow different than Postscript 3
support?.

Even if Postscript is supposed to work out of the box, shouldn't I also
be able to find this printer in the printer database?. It's not there. 

Also, the scanner on this printer does not work with SANE, but I guess I
can live without that, if I'm able to send the scan via email. 

I also looked at Xerox WorkCentre 3220: 

http://www.office.xerox.com/multifunction-printer/multifunction-under-30ppm/workcentre-3210-3220/enus.html

This advertises Postscript 3 compatibility. Is this the same as
Postscipt 3 support?. 

This printer is also not listed in the database. Is this because such
printers are supposed to just work?. 

Is there any place that lists printers with Postscript 3 support?. 

Isn't it a valid question to ask why these Postscript 3 printers are not
in the database?. Just because they are Postscript 3, are they
guaranteed to work?. Are all PPD's for these printers readily
available?. 

Sorry for all the questions..;)
