Those are usually depend on the driver to do all the processing work and chances of finding a FreeBSD driver are essentially nonexistant. Preferably get a printer that understands PostScript. If not then at least = PCL or ESC2P. Look at the OpenPrinting.org database for a printer that works "perfectly". If you cannot afford a new one, look for a second-hand "professional" printer. They are usually better quality. First or second generation color laser printers will be quite bulky but they shouldn't be too expensive.
