I want to print from my OpenBSD machines on the ethernet LAN.
I asked HP and Epson but did not get a good response. I want to avoid HP.
I want basic printing with Postscript ability over the network.
Also good value for money. I don't think I should spend more than 300$.
Are there any recommendations?
Or can we make do with HP's PCL on port 9100?
Will this work well on OpenBSD?

While I have no clue about various printers and manufactures, here is an
anecdotal experience that I found pretty damn cool.
While at work a little used lj2100dn caught my eye.
Now I have printed from a openbsd machine before, why not?
so read lpd(8), printcap(5) and a quick web search to get started
/etc/printcap
lp|lj2055 operations c:\
:rm=oc-printer:rp=auto:sd=/var/spool/output:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
and start lpd
yep it was that simple.
the hp printer network stack has a lpd daemon.
