I have an HP LaserJet 4MV - bought used, on the cheap - which so far seems to work OK with FreeBSD. It is not connected to any parallel port, but is on the local ethernet. I can print text to it just fine, but have not yet attempted Postscript (tm); printcap entry available on request. Hope this helps. > The majority only rules those who let them.
