I have a wireless HP printer connected to both Windows and FreeBSD boxes. Unfortunately, at least as far as I could tell, there is no way to simply use the Windows' driver. I installed the "hplip" port and it all, after some experimentation, worked well. It is still not as easy as printing from a Windows box to a FreeBSD printer, but it does work. -- Jerry ✌ [email protected] Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
