I'm not a freebsd tester, but I know there is a freebsd hplip 1.7.4a port which should cover your psc 1350. This would be your best option versus the tar ball install.
Both the port or the tar ball will require CUPS. It is possible to run with LPD by using hpijs only for printing, but you will need to configure the /etc/printcap file with an appropiate gs/hpijs command. If you want to pursue installing the latest hplip 2.7.7 tar ball it should be easier than the older 1.x.x version. This is because hplip 2.x.x no longer requires a persistent daemon for io and usb io only requires libusb. Unique freebsd libusb extensions are no longer required. So, I sure the freebsd community (and I) would be interested in your feedback. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Lars Eighner > Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 4:00 AM > To: HPLIP-Help@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Hplip-help] Command line printing? > > I seem to have successfully installed a psc 1350 (well that's > what I bought, but it resolutely identifies itself as a 1300 > electronically) on FREEBSD > 6.2-RELEASE-p7 running on a debranded presario desktop. > > This cost me ulpt? and umass? both of which will grab the > printer before ugen if they are loaded (however, umass can be > loaded afterwards provided the printer stays attached). > > I am wondering if it is possible to do command-line printing > with this setup.
