I am close to assasinating my HP Photosmart C4280 in frustration.

1. This is an all-in-one device. (I did not try the scanner setup yet)
2. ulpt, umass, uscanner modules are not in kernel and not kld-loaded. 
3. Machine is FreeBSD 7-stable/amd64.
4. hplip is 2.8.2

There is a ppd file for these series with the hplip distribution.

hpssd, cups started in the order needed. hp-setup detects the printer, and then says 'Unable to create queue'. CUPS web interface actually adds the printer, but then cannot print test page to it. cups user runs hpssd (I tried root too).

/var/log/messages has:
Mar 25 23:57:56 omsk python: io/hpmud/musb.c 135: unable get_string_descriptor -5: Input/output error
Mar 25 23:57:56 omsk python: io/hpmud/musb.c 1951: invalid serial id string ret=-5

Here is all relevant output:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
