With FreeBSD's and NetBSD's Linux emulations, maybe I could temporarily get by even without the Linux kernel. I know what you mean by printing difficulties in FreeBSD. My experience with HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP is such that I don't want to buy another HP product ever again. Big problem was the need for a proprietary binary plugin needed for full functionality. It was never able to download. Tom
