Is it supported with or without the plugin (check at link below): http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html Have you tried removing the printer from the config, and re-adding it? hplip-plugin is not available as a package because of license restrictions. It can be installed from ports (make sure the hplip-plugin ports version matches the hplip package version). http://www.freshports.org/print/hplip-plugin http://hplipopensource.com/node/309 Don't follow the instructions on how to install the plugin from the hplip website, just install it from ports if required.
