You, sir, are a saint. It works!! I can't believe I didn't manage to
find that package (((facepalm))).
I'm sorry the filter didn't work for you. I'm not using OpenBSD as a
desktop right now, but I abused my router a bit to test, and can confirm
that with an HL-L2370DW, the following printcap entry works, along with
the filter. I know you've basically already moved on, but if you feel like
giving it

OTOH I'm very happy with my Brother MFC-J4335DW inkjet. I haven't
got scanning to work from OpenBSD but that works

I bought an HP LaserJet M608 for peanuts,
Boy, I went down the rabbit hole on this one. I'll spare the list
all the gory details, but for the sake of posterity I figured I'll
try to close the loop on this thread.
To make a long story short: After failing to get the printer working
with just regular lpr, I tried CUPS to no avail. Along
The shortest postscript I know to test a printer:
%!
newpath clippath stroke showpage
It will draw a line around the page clipping path (i.e., the outer most edge
the printer can print at).

PS That’s also short enough to type at a printer if you connect to it with
’nc’. :-)

I believe so. The two samples I've tried

One thing you could try is doing a packet capture on a working
OS (e.g. with wireshark) and compare with what you're sending from lpr.

Seriously, get a printer that speaks PostScript and PDF.
These exist, and are not too expensive. The just say

I use an HL-L2370DW which only accepts PCL on BINARY_P1.
I think it likely that yours acts the same. You'll have to tell lp to send
the output through a filter, using (iirc) the vf= option in printcap.
This is what i used for a filter:
#!/bin/sh
gs -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sDEVICE=pxlmono

Thanks very much John. I wasn't aware of the BINARY_P1 service option,
which I

Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting printing to work using lpr(1) and a
Brother wireless printer[1] that should support it. This seems to
be a perennial topic on the list, but despite trying what I've found
in the archives, I'm stumped.
Here's my /etc/printcap:
