The 8600 is one of the models of printer which used to come with a PPD driver in the print/hplip package, however it no longer does. Instead the PPD driver is dynamically generated at the time the printer is added (hence me recommending removing and then re-adding the printer). See the details in the bug report below where another user has a similar problem with the same printer: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214686 Regards, Ben -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
