many thanks to Hans Petter, who suggested trying unlpt0 - I'm sure I did, at some stage, with the same (non-)result as ulpt0, but it's a good thought and to=20 Warren, who pointed out the LIDIL / host-based nature of my printer and thus the need for HPLIP. So, I installed cups and hplip, put cupsd_enable=3D"YES" (likewise hpiod and hpssd) in my rc.conf, found a ppd file for my printer and set it up via # hp-setup. After aliasing lp to /usr/local/bin/lp in my .zshrc, I can print from the command line. The usb stack in 8.0 seems to make the ulpt0 device acceptable to hplip/cups, so no need to rebuild my kernel without it. Steve ----- apologies for the silly message that follows ...
