I'm looking at getting a laser printer to use with my FreeBSD 6.0-R 
workstation. I'm hoping to be able to get a cheap one with ethernet 
capability, so my other (FreeBSD and Linux) servers an print to it 
easily - too using cups (or similar). Are there any known gotchas for 
the cheaper printers of this type?

The readily available examples I'm looking at are:

- Brother HL2070N
- HP Laserjet 1022N
- Panasonic KX-P711


Thanks

Mark
