CUPS, period.

Why?

I never really liked CUPS, it's so complex and bloated.

Plain lpd + pkgsrc/print/magicfilter (for postscript-to-native conversion)
works fine for me with several different HP printers.

I agree. The only thing I haven't figured out (much due to the fact that I haven't even tried) is getting duplex printing to work (printing on both sides on printers capable of that).
