I don't know about AROS or OS4, but MorphOS has very good Postscript support.
But since I have three different ink jets that are also supported, I don't always use Postscript.

If you have a printer that only has Windows drivers and you have a windows machine handy, just use the windows machine as a postscript gateway.

Something like this: http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSPSprinter/GSPSprinter.html
Then you just print from the Amiga to the windows machine using the Amiga postscript driver via the network.

I've done this using Linux instead of Windows and it works great..
(The laser printer I got doesn't support Postscript, but does have Linux drivers..  Considering getting a Raspberry Pi instead of using my Linux box, just so I don't have to power it up when I need to print, but I don't print that often..  Would be a good excuse to get a Pi tho.. ;-)

THAT is a great response.
Although I just stopped leaving an XP machine running 24/7.
I might have to start doing that again.
