If it is a free software CUPS driver, chances are it is a GNU thing and
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD might work for you. For all the proprietary stuff
(say flash, acrobat, ..) Debian GNU/kFreeBSD usually is worse of than
either GNU/Linux or pure FreeBSD systems (because no comercial vendor
ever builds for this platform).
