I suspect that the printer just showed > up and I just selected it. I guess, that's how it worked back in my Linux days. (but that too, was many versions ago) Now the pith of the matter. I also emailed Mr. Mistry, the maintainer; and he says "Your printer needs a newer version of hplip that isn't in the ports yet. I'm planning on submitting and update this weekend." So, I'll wait! Thank you all very much for your help; I'll give the list a post when I try this. --Thank you. John
