I have followed the instructions in dekstopBSD wiki: > > http://desktopbsd.net/wiki/doku.php?id=doc:printing > > (though I used ports and not packages) Did you find it necessary to recompile the kernel with ulpt disabled? I have a HP PSC2110 "All-In-One" that I can use in Linux (printing and scanning) but was unable to get working in FreeBSD. I believe part of the solution is to disable ulpt and recompile the kernel, but I had trouble getting hplip to work. FreeBSD does not have hpoj, which is what I use in Linux with this printer.
