I am new to FreeBSD, so if anyone else has better advice on this matter, please chime in. The only things I can think of are: 1. hint.ppc.0.falgs= is what you typed above twice. Make sure that this is not misspelled in the device.hints file (it should be flags... not falgs). 2. Try 0x28. 3. Read a thread from the archives in April 2005 entitled "Very slow printing with stock FreeBSD5.3 + CUPS + Gimp-Print + HPDeskJet612C" ( http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-April/thread.html#84258 ). In there, they mention having to possibly remove a line and possibly adding another one. They also mention some other drivers that might work better for you. 4. Try going through lptcontrol. Chapter 9 of the FreeBSD Handbook goes over this a bit. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html I hope this helps. And, if anyone else has any ideas, please add 'em. Good luck. -Anthony
