The Epson Workforce Pro WF-6090 monochrome laser printer works well.
It sells for about $300. Wifi can be disabled. It works on USB and
network. Here is my printcap:

Good, that means we can encourage attention to the principle of the
matter, and not have to worry about all the practical considerations.
The principle of the matter is that it is a corrupt practice, if not
specifically admited in the documentation and sales material.

I reject the insinuation that only blackmailers need anonymous speech.
Reality Winner is but one example to the contrary.
Without anonymous speech, there can be no free speech.
People might deem it a no-brainer that "They" would do something like
this, but the real no-brainer is understanding

Same here. Currently, a Kyocera P2135dn is sitting on the desk here,
but i can't say whether it is good because i'm printing so little.
Seems Kyocera is a nice hint indeed. Otherwise I would go for Xerox.
Even their low-end printers do support raw TCP/IP printing, LPD and

I use an HP Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M283fdw on OpenBSD and it works

so openbsd lpd should work as well. HP also has some cheaper
