The official driver download page says there's no driver for XP, and
that's why I tried this "Global" driver. It seems not global at all! Is
there a true global printer driver that could speak to all, or a large
portion of printers?


There are multiple "universal print driver for X" type
drivers. Initially, Microsoft made a framework for PostScript
printers, and that was the first one I used. This was extended
to separate packages for PCL printers.

Harking back to a much earlier era: at some point - I think it was XP -
a universal driver for impact (what used to be called "dot matrix" -
pins against ink ribbon) printers. It eliminated the listing of many
such models of printer in the list of printers built into XP (if it
was): used to all be listed - the EPSON LX, LQ and similar ranges, and
several other manufacturers' models. I was most surprised when an
ancient Star - I think it was LC100 - spewed out a perfectly good
Windows test page. (Of acceptable quality too, albeit slow and noisy.
Impact printers were capable of good results, and - I think - the
cheapest of all to run.)

What's really worth knowing is for the most part unlearnable until you have
enough experience to even recognise it as knowledge, let alone as useful
knowledge. - Wolf K , in alt.windows7.general, 2017-4-30

I think I have that HP driver: HP Universal Print Driver for Windows
PostScript, named upd-PS-X32-5_2_6_9321.exe here. I've tried that too,
but apparently it only supports HP series and not Xerox. Postscript,
PCL, that seemed "universal" languages for printers, still get refused
by manufacturers as a basic common language. Maybe PDF would be the
next, I doubt.

As to virtual printers, specifically PDF printers, you could use
PDF-XChange Lite or Foxit Reader PDF Printer directly, without using
postscript as an intermediate. I used to use Ghostscript's virtual
printer to print to ps file and then convert it to pdf as you do, but
now I could hardly see any usage of ps file.
