Thanks for the advice. It appeared to send the firmware to /dev/ugen0 but when I printed, the job was sent to a black hole with no error messages. For some reason, I don't think the firmware is getting to the printer properly. If I unplug the printer and plug it into my Archlinux box the (linux) hotplug script works and I can actually hear the printer crank up from the firmware. I don't get this sound with OpenBSD.

I'm coming close to giving up on this and thinking about going with a less than optimal solution: load the firmware on the printer via Archlinux, then disconnect+connect the printer to my OpenBSD box and then just don't turn my printer off!
