Yes.

Most printer makers have a ps version (normally more
expensive).  I had a ps printer once -- there was a
ps in the model number (but I don't know whether they
all have that).

If you are outputing to /dev/lp0 from the commandline,
it must be done as root.  AFAIK, ordinary users do not
have direct access (they must go via lpr).
