I am after a cheap monochrome laser printer which can print postscript 3 documents directly from an Android device.
I am struggling to find a laser printer which includes this in the description.

Here's a selection filtered by A4/Mono/Print Only/Wireless/Android:

Unfortunately there's no filter for Postscript 3 so you'll have to look at each one - it's under Specifications>Software on each page. Looking at a few the Xerox & Kyocera printers list Postscript 3 but the Brothers don't & the HPs are variable depeding on model. As to whether they actually print from an Android device you'll have to call & ask but if you confirm it as a requirement & then it doesn't you be able to return it.

"Real" Postscript printers are probably getting more and more rare. You might find a good old HP Laserjet languishing in an office.

Could you use a service like Mopria which will handle the printing from an Android device (albeit via the cloud, free), and handle any conversions necessary?
