M501dn Laserjet
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am not a printer expert but I need to print postscript (ps) files and we are looking at the M501dn printer. I'm having a tough time confirming a few things.

1) The M501dn printer is capable of printing postscript files?

2) Is there anything else I need to buy to support? I heard I might need a postscript card?

3) Do I just need to download the correct driver?

 

Thanks
