I see there is a growfs but don't know about shrinking a file system. I would have a better idea if I could see your partition table, like "gpart show ada0" or whatever. Did you say you had Ubuntu installed? How is printing under Ubuntu? I was able to print using a file from print/foo2zjs from NetBSD pkgsrc, might also work with the FreeBSD port. In NetBSD, I couldn't build the package but was able to extract the necessary file. I used cups but am not sure if hplip had anything to do with my limited success. I was unsuccessful with fax and scan. Posting to the FreeBSD list is better than emailing to me alone because others might be able to help. Tomhome | help
