Hi, I need some help to setup or buy new printer.

I have been trying to make a Brother DCP-L2530DW working on OpenBSD.

I have tried:

* Send ps files to the printer `cat file.ps > /dev/ulpt0`
* Filter plain-text (and ps) with a2ps,foomatic-rip and the oem provided 
ppd.

But all this just "print" blank pages, and not always.

Since its seems this printer its not very OpenBSD friendly I'm searching 
for another one with Postscript and/or PCL support (which should be 
easier to setup)

I want a monochrome laser printer to connect via usb to my server and 
set it up with lpd(8) (better if it has multifunction capabilities).

Any Postscript printer should be compatible and easy to setup? Even if 
it's not on `foomatic-ppdfile -A | grep Postscript`

What have I to consider regarding scanner support?

Do you have any recommendations on the 100-200 price range.

Thanks
