If you can find one that understands PostScript, you have 99% chance it
can work in BeOS, most of the time you will just have to add the .PPD
(PostScript Printer Definition) to /etc/ppd/BrandName/
as I did succesfully for the oldish Lexmark lazer printer I got
(after some DOS-nix convertion of the files found on their site, and some
cleanup).
Check here for generic ppds (BeOS have nearly all of them, but maybe older
ones.

For Lexmark, go to
