Postscript is a printer control language; it's one of the languages used to tell printers how to print a page. Normally found in only higher-end printers.
As for emulation, depends on context, but sounds like a printer that normally doesn't use Postscript but will accept it if needed. Could be something else though, need to tell us more.
