I wish I could do that with my HP n1212mf LaserJet, but the necessary hplip port depends on cups-base. I could not get that printer to work on the old computer under FreeBSD 8.2 and NetBSD 5.1_STABLE, problems with the tricky USB interface, won't work with ulpt, but I didn't try the ethernet way yet. On the new computer, FreeBSD being the only hard-drive OS installed so far, I built hplip but haven't tested it yet. Upgrading by source from FreeBSD 9.0-BETA2 to RC1, I was sure to deactivate ulpt in the kernel config file. I am still struggling with some files in /etc messed up by mergemaster. I may have found a solution but haven't tested it yet; I did back up my old /etc directory. Then I have to portupgrade hplip and dependencies (portupgrade -r ...) or the portmaster equivalent. Tom
