To be pedantic, all LaserWriters (the original LaserWriter printer from
Apple) accept PostScript, though not all models in the LaserWriter family
do (e.g., some LaserWriter Select and Personal LaserWriter models), and
many laser printers do not accept PostScript.  There is no one language all
laser printers -- or all members of the LaserWriter family -- speak.
