In this case with Vista no driver discs were needed.  Chap simply clicked
and Vista loaded it - must've been in the software.  Don't know if
postscript capable. 

But at least Vista has made some things easier.  Time will tell if
everything is easier or what percentage is easier.

Even easier. It will always be autodiscovered by modern Linux distros.

If it is not postscript capable, I still have to select a driver manually - 
but CUPS will mostly suggest the right one. However, I don't have to insert 
any driver disks etc. unless it is some newfangled proprietary protocol or 
this "Windows printer" nonsense - the drivers come all by default.

In any case, I buy my dedicated network printers postscript capable, so I 
never have any driver headaches at all.
