Actually, I do. If you can find a printer with PostScript compatibility and
configure it correctly in /sys/lib/lp/devices, it works great.

My printer is a laser printer and not an inkjet, however. Specific model is
a Brother MFC8710DW. Unfortunately it seems to be discontinued now. It has
PostScript compatibility and it has an embedded BSD lpd server in it, which
works fine with lp(1).
