I have a HP LaserJet 1200, currently hooked up via parallel port to an
AlphaStation 200 running 1.5.2. It works great; I have a lpr queue on
it that can be printed to from other lpr-speaking boxes in the house
(NetBSD and MacOS X, at the moment), and Samba exports a print share
for the Windows boxes. All of them use PostScript.

It also worked over USB, but not *quite* as reliably, and the machine
I ultimately designated as a print server doesn't have USB ports.

Anyway, I'm quite happy with the HP 1200.
