Otherwise it just works. > Ross, I am afraid to screw up and for the first time, I can say that I have updated FreeBSD successfully without hiccups and I have not compiled the kernel on FreeBSD :(, I have done it on linux systems many times, but have not here, and I would hate to lose all the work just to get the printer working.
