I've been for a couple of days to get a FreeBSD machine to print to this Printer through the network... and failing. I've tried CUPS and CUPS + HPLIP and lpd. Someone at the HPLIP Launchpad forums suggested that HPLIP does not work on FreeBSD...
The printer does work, I can log into its web server and everything looks fine. A Mac can print to it just fine.
I tried to use the PPD that was installed on the Mac by the CD installer and others supplied by CUPS.
'hp-setup' tries to install a binary plug-in but fails. Other HPLIP utilities (like hp-testpage) don't mind though and are able to see the printer but don't actually print anything. Same with CUPS. CUPS tells me that jobs I send to the printer are completed.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
