Roughly speaking, every printer which is supported by a 
ghostscript driver is supported. Newer printers like EPSON stylus
are supported by ghostscript 3.51 which is in the FreeBSD
ports collection.


There is a filter (apsfilter) which supports text printing to postscript.

I interfaced a serial DECln03r Scriptprinter (Postscript) to my machine's
serial port. Here is the printcap entry:

#       @(#)printcap    5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
lp0|lp|local laser printer:\
        :lp=/dev/cuaa2:\
        :rw:\
        :of=/usr/local/bin/lpof:\
        :fc#0000374:fs#0000003:br#38400:\
        :xc#0:xs#0040040:sf:sb:br#38400:\
        :mx#0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
