Amazingly xerox has a lot of native postscript printers as long as you are willing to spend around $400 to $500 for a colour laser. > I can heartily recommend the HP Colour LaserJets -- I've got a CLJ1515, and > I'm loving it.

My experience with HP is that when they do support postscript it is awful slow. In general I am not impressed with HP products. I also wouldn't use a laser for photo printing.
