HPLIP is written for Linux and at least my experience with HPLIP on Ubuntu you just plug things and they work. So the problem is definitely not in HPLIP but in configuration and possibly FreeBSD drivers. Using Ubuntu will also not help you with FreeBSD configuration. Cheers, Predrag P. S. One way of approaching the problem is to attach that all-in-one device on Linux machine and use it on your FreeBSD machine via the network. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
