The above command works, for example, with a line printer
(dotmatrix printer) with NO driver, even works with a HP
Laserjet - it uses the built-in text fonts to print the
text.
You exaggerate, configuring /etc/printcap and filter is natural part of
printer installation.
incredibly simple to implement both in printer and software.
but looks like too difficult for manufacturers.
When they would tell on the box "Works with every system, no
driver needed".
As i already told, manufacturer don't need to say this, instead say the
same as already says. Just sell THE SAME PRINTER with different product
name/number as unix printer.
And instead of attaching 5GB of super extra important stuff, just attach 1
page instruction about how to configure postscript filter by say
ghostscript or maybe URL on their site with examples
