That is rather pessimistic. Anything postscript-compliant should work
for basic printing. More advanced functions (two sided printing, for
instance, or ink levels detection) will need specific drivers, though.

Most non-Lexmark printers on the market today are
postscript-compliant, and the ones that aren't postscript-compliant
will print things wrong in many cases (on both Linux and Windows), as
document formats such as PDF and Word (which is designed for creating
documents for print, by the way) actually use postscript functions or
mimic them internally. Therefore, if a printer won't work in Linux, it
will likely print things wrong in Windows as well.
