It is a common misunderstanding that OpenBSD supports models of printers
- actually, it is the other way round: it only supports the printers of
models (such as Heidi Klum's Epson MX80).

Check printers/cups in ports and printers supported by cups --- that are 
in printers/foo* ports.

Any printer which speaks PostScript page description language or can
print ASCII code directly as well as printers which are network ready 
and speak LPD protocols will work out of box with OpenBSD.

If you are willing to install some extra drivers the choice is much
wider. All open source drivers are ported to OpenBSD Check out the 
following ports: Ghostscript, Gutenprint, HPLIP, Splix, and
foo2zjs. Also network ready printers which speak only IPP are supported
by CUPS which is one of three different spooling systems ported to
OpenBSD. 

The above should give you choice of probably couple thousands
printers. To check if particular model will work

P.S. Note that printer which require closed  source binary blob
drivers released for Linux like some of cheaper Brother models will 
not work on OpenBSD.
