        But mostly, like 99.44%  plain black text.  My old deskjet used

I suggest getting a network printer. Most of them support the IPP
printing protocol, and if it eats PostScript then it's pretty much
guaranteed to work on every operating system under the sun. Saves you
from fiddling with drivers for FreeBSD and setting up CUPS.
