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
