Netscape produces PostScript output, so you need a PostScript printer (which you probably don't have because it printed as gibberish) or PostScript-interpreting software like Ghostscript. Ghostscript is free, and you may have it installed already with your FreeBSD. I read the Handbook section on printing in order to get my printing working, and it helped a lot.
