Setting up printers on FreeBSD generally isn't that hard. Difficulties come from cheap printers that have oddball page description languages or "host-based" printers which expect bitmaps only, and in a specific format. Some of these printers require a firmware download before they can do anything. openprinting.org doesn't list a Business Inkjet 5000, so I can't tell what PDLs it understands.
