What I would like to be able to do is to generate documents such as patient information sheets for my patients on my mac, put them on a pda, and print directly from the pda, complete with nice formatting, graphics, etc. Ergo, a printer which can accept pdf files as is, without requiring a software driver, would be ideal. Even better if it had an IRDA wi-fi interface.
I see such a device as being very useful generally. No necessity for individualized drivers for different printers; the same printer would give exactly the same results no matter which computer platform was used; a network printer would be truly universal.

Pure speculation...
Perhaps Henry is running a pre-OS X system and a non-PostScript printer where PDFs are not printed in all their glory.
IIRC, printing rotated type and some postscript images did not come out all that well on inkjets (non-postscript).
If this is the case, then any PostScript printer should do.
