So I added to /boot/loader.conf ulpt_load="YES" then the printer is found by cups and hplip. But I do not want to use cups so I deinstalled it. Cups can't print a testpage so I resorted to lpd. Which can't print anything, so back to cups that too can't print anything. So I'm stuck. Printer is HP laserjet P2055d
