My whole interest in this thread came from not being able to print with CUPS in FreeBSD. So.... just for fun and to avoid doing my exercise, I decided to see if CUPS would work with OpenBSD 5.6. Set it up, added the printer through the CUPS gui interface, foomatic-db offering my Brothers HL2170W. Went to print a test page, and it worked without problems.

So, somewhat ironically, CUPS seems to work adequately (again for my VERY simple needs) in OpenBSD for me. I did no testing outside of printing the test page though, which failed in FreeBSD.
