The most common non-postscript printer language is probably HP's PCL
(printer control language); ghostscript outputs PCL from the pcl3
driver, as well as the various LaserJet and DeskJet drivers (lj*, dj*). 

There is also bunch of specific inkjet drivers: Canon Bubblejet
bj* and Epson epl* drivers, typically tied to a narrow range of printer models.

I think most HP printers that do PCL also use postscript nowadays, but this is 
not the
case for the inkjets.
