I rebuilt everything and still can't get it to work. I even tried USB for configuration and it says that "HP LaserJet Professional m1212nf MFP, hpcups 3.12.2, requires proprietary plugin" so I'm going back to IP and try again from scratch. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
