Much to my shock, it started printing out queued jobs from Windows, Mac and an IBM mainframe immediately! I did not have a chance to update drivers or anything at that point. That said I have not tested that since then. : )

It's one of the reasons I like and prefer HP's printers.  I don't know that *all* including the cheapest cheap-out inkjet accept generic PostScript, but all the HP printer's I've worked with will do PostScript.

Brother makes good products. I wonder how long they support their 
products. I checked with HP and they still supply the toner cartridge 
for my LazerJet 1100 which was old when I got it around 2002.
