You solution in the same of the bug report I mentioned in another post
in this thread. It refers to the bug report and fix in:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2006-July/094331.html

I still have problems with CUPS. It borks complaining about
foomatic-rip not being found, although it installed. Did you get a
problem like that too?

I have a HP Deskjet 840C on /dev/lpt0

 Any help is appreciated.
 Thanks.
