The last time I used parallel on FreeBSD, it was slow...well, slower
than expected. Haven't really tested USB printers for speed.
Ethernet is superior in many ways.
The speed is acceptable, just the "error messages" are annoying,
started with FreeBSD 7, I think. I do feed PCL into the printer
as this is faster than PS, but recent office class printers do
provide good (and FAST!) PS support. An example for a well-designed
internal CPU is the Kyocera FS-3900DN which also supports
different "personalities"; it might be considered "expensive",
but it will pay.
My LJ4+ was connected via parallel and I never noticed any problems with
error messages or the speed. But I had nothing to benchmark the speed
against, so maybe I just didn't know what I was missing.
I'm OK with a printer that's as slow as I am. ;)
