Hello Earl:

Linux Printing  Org  does not show your particular printer:
All Compaq printers
http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Compaq

Linux Printing Org lists the availability of CUPS drivers.

You may be able to get it working with CUPS. I have a short tutorial
here for NetBSD. It is almost the same in FreeBSD.
