None of the big players do.  Until recently Lexmark used real Adobe 
Postscript, but I just checked and even their most expensive laser 
printer now has emulation.

Not Lexmark, not HP, not Brother.

GCC still uses real Adobe Postscript. (Then again, they are selling the 
same printers that they sold 15 years ago, and they are selling them at 
two to three times what competing printers are going for.)

>Is it relevant any more?

I haven't heard a single person complain about Postscript errors and 
inaccuracies due to Postscript emulation in over a decade.
