Preferred print drivers

Preferred print drivers As long as I can remember, the preferred print driver has been PCL5 or PCL6. It seems that PCL5 is going the way of the dodo, and PCL6 has more problems than I care to list here (pcl xl errors). It seems that the most reliable print driver these days is the PS (postscript) driver. Just wondering what everyone elses' experience has been and what kind of driver they prefer?

Doing more research myself, I've found that Postscript, while older, isn't necessarily inferior to PCL. Postscript is primarily targeted towards graphics while PCL is optimal for text. Postscript can take slightly longer to print as it's spooled job is larger than PCL. There doesn't seem to be any downfall to using Postscript other than that. In fact, many graphics design labs that use large format printers will stick with Postscript.
