My old HP Laserjet 4+ is broken and I'm thinking about buying a new
printer. I'd appreciate hearing recommendations from the list.
My requirements:
- Compatible with FreeBSD (obviously)
- Laserjet preferred. Black & White only. I don't need to print photos
or business brochures.
- Very light home usage. (Tax forms and the occasional printout of a
software manual for offline study.)
- Low upfront and maintenance costs. Printers are like the old Gillette
razors: the money's in the blades (toner or ink cartridges), not the
device.
- Any interface is OK. Parallel, USB, networked.

I haven't had too much trouble with printers except for photo and colour
ones. Check the foomatic db and you should be fine. I have got a canon
pixma photo printer and a samsung colour laser working with no trouble,
just can't get photo quality so you should have no trouble I'd reckon.
Low up front _and_ maintenance costs is pushing it IMO- like oil and
water: never together. But of course that is always relative :) And it
is also relative to where you live too.
Just my 2c... :) Good luck!
