I'm currently looking for a new low-end inkjet printer.

After checking out gimp-print support, most of the newer Epson and HP's
are supported.

However most of the new printers are usb, and I don't have much
experience with printing to usb under FreeBSD.

Once connected would the device just be something like /dev/usb0 (on
FreeBSD 5) or do you need a usb to parallel converter? There is no
mention of usb printers in the handbook.

Would appreciate advice and recommendations from others, on what to get
and what to avoid.
