A printer that does not include its own PostScript interpreter is, plain and simple, not a PostScript printer.
Yes... so??
So... This Samsung printer is _not_ a PostScript printer as you originally inquired (you did say "natively").
It appears to support Postscript3 as well as PCL6. What does that make it?
Not trying to be argumentative here but it *does* seem to be a 'postscript printer'.
You very specifically asked whether the support was "native." It is not. It is "emulated," meaning the driver in the host computer interprets the PostScript and sends something else (bit-maps, probably) to the printer. It is _not_ a PostScript printer. If you send it PostScript, it will not interpret it and render the pages described by that PostScript. If anything, it will print it as text or try (and fail, not doubt) to interpret it as its native page description language, which is presumably HP PCL. If you don't care whether the support was native, fine, but that's not what you asked. Randall Schulz
