Most color laser printers support it. My HP CLJ4500 at home and all our CLJs at work have it and since I live and die in Adobe apps, I use the Postscript drivers (I'm a Windows user). Now with 600 and 1200dpi printing, I don't use Postscript fonts all that much since the "hints" they encrypted are best for the 300dpi or less devices and a lot of them have restrictions on embedding them in PDFs so your viewers need to have them. I find OpenType to be effective and portable enough (Adobe helped define the standard), especially in conjunction with MS Cleartype (I use all LCD displays).
