absolutely. i only use network printers with my AOS4 system. there are two options you can try: lpr.device and netprinter.device.


Actually there are three options, once you've added in ipp.device.

What I do, is use a Raspberry Pi with CUPS on it, as my print server.  You can chuck anything you like at it (in theory, although I use PostScript) and it'll translate for the printer attached.

When it was directly connected I just used the LJ4 driver.  It's a basic PCL5 driver that works with most monochrome lasers, as Geit said.
