Well, its true (if I can offer some feedforward). It will print Quark PS files just
like anything else, but the issue with Quark is usually color management. If you use
all default settings with CM off, i.e. are targetting basically SWOP presses, then
just select the SWOP input profile in the rip with RC or AC intent and you'll be
fine. For anything more complex than that I'd recommend a third party CM extension
like PraxiSoft's CompassPro XT; note that the Lite version is included free with
MacOS in the ColorSync CS Extras. All this is just my personal opinion, naturally.
