Since my main goal is to be able to print over the network via my FreeBSD
station, I could put in another way:
Can I expect that printers known to be supported by HPLIP (
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html) actually
work in FreeBSD? And would one of the HP models by a "safe" choice?
