  That's why PostScript was invented. All you need is the PPD (if that).

  My favourite feature of Mac OS X is one ruthlessly stolen from Windows 98: most contemporary printers will just "work" when you connect them up. No need to install any drivers. And you don't just get a basic driver, you get a full-featured driver that can operate all the printer's features, tell you the ink levels, and not fill your computer up with garbage.
