The specs clearly state that it is PCL5 and PCL6, but certainly isn't
postscript.  If it was they would mention it in the datasheet, which
they do not.

Oh and it is 1200x600dpi, which is perfectly normal for a laser printer.
They pretty much can't get any higher (LED printers could go a bit
higher, but a laser really can't).
