Roughly speaking, every printer which is supported by a
ghostscript driver is supported. Newer printers like EPSON stylus
are supported by ghostscript 3.51 which is in the FreeBSD
ports collection.
There is a filter (apsfilter) which supports text printing to postscript.
I interfaced a serial DECln03r Scriptprinter (Postscript) to my machine's
serial port. Here is the printcap entry:
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
