Not exactly true. For the Unix world, having a PostScript printer does indeed
make life easy. But, for the MicroSh!t Windoze world, you still have to
load printer drivers for the particular printer. Yes, it sucks, but that
is what Windoze wants and it is what you have to give it.

I have the HP-6 series printer (I forget the exact model number). It is not
the speediest of printers, but with a paper tray and a manual feed, making
double-sided copies is also a breeze.
