It's also not possible to generalise and say "all Linux apps"... many
*nix applications generate PostScript, but many more just write text
files.  

The common use of GhostScript in *nix systems allows PostScript to
drive certain non-PostScript printers - basically a RIP.

But that's just one way of working. I am encountering this often -
equating "what you can do with CUPS and certain applications" to "what
Linux does" but that is pretty confusing if you are outside that
world. There's nothing like the consistency of Windows printer
drivers, which almost every application uses.

But I notice Brenda Weiss has given up on us...?
