Dear ALL,
I am an older newbie trying to set up an old HP Office Jet R60 on my office
computer running
FreeBSD 6.2 Stable with the Generic kernel. I followed excellent how to
http://dsteinbrook.googlepages.com/hpliponfreebsd by Daniel Steinbrook (I am
trying to use HPLIP since the printer is listed as a fully functional even
Linux printing is recommending HPLIP for this printer)
except the part about customizing kernel since my printer has a parallel
port(I assume that part was relevant only for USB printers so I left kernel
GENERIC). Unfortunately when I run hp-setup utility the printer is not
detected. However printer is detected by OS as you can see from
[root@ ~]# dmesg

so I tried manually to specify the device not as /dev/ppc0 (but ppc0 is also
not in /dev
also I do not have /dev/ppc0) I also tried /dev/lpt0 as a device node since
I can get printer reacting on lptest > /dev/lpt0. Unfortunately it prints
only one line of codes instead of whole page. I was not playing enough with
LP in hope of being able to do HPLIP
Could anybody tell me what am I doing so wrong and give me some kind of
directions? Sorry for this simple question.

P.S.
I tried to use CUPS in order to use Gutenprint drivers but it seems to me
that cups expects printer to be detected as USB or network printer. ( I am
messing up something big time with the parallel ports). All I have done was
from the root account (I will set permissions latter). My computer is set up
to run as a free standing Desktop so the host name is something generic.
