I've tried a couple of gutenprint and CUPS lists but no responses yet 
apart from a recommendation to use Linux Turboprint.

Out of curiosity I've tried the Pixma IP4500 on a Linux system (Fedora 
fc9) but the supplied foomatic driver just spat out blank pages. 
Turboprint produced excellent results but there's no FreeBSD version 
and I expect getting it to run under Linux emulation would be difficult 
or even impossible.
