In more detail, I have a postscript printer attached with usb to my
home server running lpd. My home server is a landisk device running
some services I'd like to have always on. It's power consumption is
about 3W, less than your typical gigabit ethernet card.
It perfectly serves my printing needs. I try to avoid any printer that
needs special drivers.
