The DeskJet and DeskWriter do not have PostScript.  There is      
a product called "Freedom Of The Press" from Custom Applications
Inc. that allows you to print PostScript files out on a
DeskJet, LaserJet, and many other printers (and hopefully in
the near future, on the DeskWriter).

The DeskWriter comes with it's own outline fonts and supports
Adobe's Type Manager, but doesn't have any built in PostScript
support.
