For example, nothing in the specs mentions Postscript or BR Script, but the printer lists on operational Postscript service via Telnet.

I have a brother laser printer (hl-4040cdn), so maybe this doesn't apply to the inkjet...but I had to go into the configuration page and set treat LF as CR/LF to print correctly.
CUPS only worked sometimes for me so I switched to using LPD. I finally got LPD to work by making a custom filter to translate PS to PCL (again, not sure if this applies to the inkjet world). But anyway, here's the link to how I can not print without problem, it's FreeBSD but should work on OpenBSD.
