This is AFAIK another crap advise. OF course if a printer supports PS it
would works in linux - especially if it was 2002. 

Just buy a decent printer that is known to be working - there are cheaper or
more expensive once that work pretty well. Some manufacturers are more
linux friendly like HP, but also some of their low budget printers are
crap.

PS support BTW makes a printer unnecessary expensive. Look here - it is
called emulation now days
