Is HTML or PDF the new PCL?

So, HP are going to launch some printers with email addresses.

Will this mean you can email them a URL and they'll print it out?

I'd like to see direct printing of PDF documents. At the moment a printer drive is needed to convert a document (e.g. word processor file, spreadsheet, photo) into a format that the printer understands. HP printers understand a language called PCL and this is what HP printer drivers produce.

It would be interesting to see a printer that understood the PDF document format.

What happened to postscript?
