>How does one know if one's printer supports postscript. 

Generally, you check the manual or box. PostScript is a premium
feature, and they will surely tell you.

> If these do not support ps, can I install the Adobe Generic PS Script 5 on Windows XP?

What is it you want to do.  There is something called AdobePS, but on
Windows XP it just installs the same driver that ADD PRINTER does.  It
does NOT turn a non-PostScript printer to a PostScript printer.

It is used in conjunction with a PPD for a printer. It includes a
Generic PostScript PPD, but my advice is NEVER to use that - it is
almost never the solution to whatever problem people are trying to
solve.
