This post is part of the series FreeBSD on my laptop
I have a HP LaserJet 1020 which is shared from my linux workstation (CUPS). To use the printer from my FreeBSD laptop I have to add the driver, which is found in print/foo2zjs. CUPS has to be enabled in /etc/rc.conf with the line
cupsd_enable="YES"
After a reboot (or just a start of CUPS) the printer can be configured using the cups web interface at localhost:631
I have not tried this yet but by following the pkg-message you can supposedly set up the printer directly on the FreeBSD machine by downloading the firmware with the ‘getweb’ utility.
I also have a HP PSC 1300 printer/scanner. One should be able to install this using the guide in [1]
