I think the main problem is that "non-complex" in today's terms is  
far more complex than "non-complex" in the days gone by. Look at the  
PostScript being produced by something even as simple as BBEdit  
printing syntax coloured source code. (almost) Every letter is  
individually positioned and coloured. I can understand why cheap  
PostScript emulation would have a headache with some of this stuff.

FWIW, my Lexmark Optra S 1855 can handle anything I throw at it. It's  
ageing though, and toner cartridges are becoming harder to source,  
and black & white printing is *so* last century...
