I need to buy a printer to connect to one of my OpenBSD machines and I prefer a USB connection (as I don't control the network at my current place). Can I just buy any USB printer or are there printers which do not work with OpenBSD? If so, what do I need to check / avoid?
Any suggestion for something "cheap" (to print just a few documents as needed)? I never had to buy a printer before, so I'm not familiar with this area -- if possible I would like to get a printer/scanner but I have no idea what I can buy locally :-( A HP laserjet (which was a gift but broke today) worked only with one of my OpenBSD machines which seemingly was related to the USB HW, using a printcap entry like this: usb:lp=/dev/ulpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/usb:sf:sh:tr=^D: -- Address is valid for this mailing list only, please do not reply to it direcly, but to the list.
