The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 6MP was the last monochrome LaserJet to have genuine Adobe PostScript as opposed to "clonescript."

The printer in question has PostScript Level 2, but should be quite capable of printing anything put to it by any modern applications.

In terms of drivers, you probably ended up with the PCL driver, not the PostScript one. You should download the Universal Adobe PostScript Windows Driver Installer from the Adobe website. Also get the PPD file for the LaserJet 6MP from HP's website (assuming you don't already have it). Run the Universal Adobe PostScript Windows Driver Installer, pointing to the LaserJet 6MP PPD file. Configure the printer driver, and you should be fine.
