I am currently using netpar, also on Aminet, and it works nice with my new HP CLJ Pro MFPM281 printer.  I have printed from Pagestream4 and Finalwriter97 in color.  What seems to work best in Finalwriter is using the Postscript driver.  It is nice that HP still makes printers on PCL5, 5e and 5c along with Postscript even though that is emulated but it still works.  The only beef I have with NetPar is that it has a banner page and wastes a page of paper every print.  I cannot figure out how to shut it off in the docs.  It is annoying!  So if somebody knows hot to stop the Banner print page, I would highly appreciate it!

Maybe try Olaf's lpr.device instead.  I'd hope that is fully compatible given the author's involvement in OS3.1.4 :D (also I'm pretty sure it doesn't try to do anything fancy like banner pages, although it has been some years since I last used it)
