I'm not really interested in a PostScript printer per se, but in a
printer that handles PDFs natively. Is this the same thing?

What I would understand by the expression "postscript scanner" is
something that scans a document and yields a PDF file. I think
a lot of scanners (most?) will also scan to a JPEG file.

That's the sort of thing, but I'm used to it writing the files
onto a USB stick (and prefer that).
