Yes, Postscript support will get you out of a lot of trouble.

Correction. HP laserjet printers used to be rock solid. No more.
Colour laser printers are cheap, but the toner is not. Manufacturers
these days provide small capacity toners with the printer but after
around 500 or so pages you've got to go back and maybe spend as much
as the original printer price on toners. This is OK, but you need to
be aware of it. 3rd party toner cartridges are not always
satisfactory - particularly for alignment and for evenness of colour.
