If it is a free software CUPS driver, chances are it is a GNU thing and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD might work for you. For all the proprietary stuff (say flash, acrobat, ..) Debian GNU/kFreeBSD usually is worse of than either GNU/Linux or pure FreeBSD systems (because no comercial vendor ever builds for this platform). Christoph
