PostScript, or PS, is a printer driver language commonly used in Mac environments and has been designed to provide a high-quality colour output. This is achieved by efficiently translating a computer’s RGB (Red-Green-Blue) values into the CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black) values used by your device.
In contrast to PCL, PostScript is a device independent printer language. This means that all the print data processing is completed on the computer before sending the print job to the printer. Generally, print jobs are not as efficient as they would be by using a PCL driver, however, the output is more consistent from printer to printer, as there is no variation in how data has been processed.

I am trying to use the advice from another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4549443) to get my new Mac (Mountain Lion, OS x 10.8.2) to recognize my printer. The printer is an older one no longer supported by its manufacturer (Xerox PE220, exactly the same as in the other thread). The other thread says that the generic driver is located here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/P rintCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Generic.ppd
. . . I can't find it because I don't know how. Terminal tells me 'Permission denied' when I enter this line in it. I tried searching for 'Generic.ppd' in Spotlight and that didn't work, either. Using System Information, I could get as far as /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework, but no 'Versions' or anything farther down show up.
I'm not a power user, so I'm stumped.
Please help me get from knowing where the driver is to actually being able to use it!
