No. If you install Ghostscript (packages and ports collection) you can use it as a driver to convert PostScript into a lot of printer specific formats. For example, my printer at home is an old Epson-compatible matrix printer (9 pins) which does well with Ghostscript. Please look into the section about printing in the handbook to get details about filter scripts using Ghostscript.
