seems you like to incredibly complicated things. It just happens that i configured that printer in one office and there is NO NEED for this windows-style crappy shit from HP. /usr/ports/print/hplip (make config and disable GUI trash) is enough. scanning works directly to SMB exported shares or mails - just connect by WWW browser to http://yourprinterip and configure it. printing works fine with this lpr filter #!/bin/sh export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin/gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE \ -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer="HEWLETT-PACKARD" \ -sDeviceModel="deskjet 5600" -dIjsUseOutputFD -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 \ -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -r600 \ -sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=2,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=2 \ -sOutputFile=/tmp/$$ - >/dev/null cat /tmp/$$ rm /tmp/$$ that's all. Work for whole office without trash software installed on (windoze) workstation or unix server.
