Isnt using ghostscript on Linux the same as using GDI on windoze,
that is, both just send a compressed bitmap to the printer?
  A smarter printer would be a waste under Linux, unless it does
postscript.

My Brother hl730 laser works well in "GDI" under linux, but i had to
compile a custom gs with the right driver. The driver was available
before any NT driver.
  This printer does HP emulation, but only at 300dpi. And its faster using
the "GDI" driver!
