I had a Brother HL5150D which worked very well with OS/2, including 
duplexing. It was specifically supported by the latest laserjet driver. 
It's no longer sold, but I'm pretty certain that its replacement, the 
HL5250DN, will also work even though there is no specific driver for it. 
You would have to try it to be sure, though. It has PCL6 and Brother's 
version of Postscript level 3 support and has parallel, USB and network 
connectivity. Ah - a quick check on the ecomstation.ru site shows that 
this printer has a "very good with OS/2" ranking, especially in 
Postscript mode.
