I suspect you need to use "gmake" (the GNU make) instead of "make",
which is the BSD make.

Bingo!!!

I just can't win for losing where BSD is concerened:

Could not set up/change the queue "DeskJet_682C"!

What do I have to do to install/use HPIJS without devoting my life to becoming a FreeBSD+CUPS expert?! (Setting up CUPS+foomatic+HPIJS was a breeze under Gentoo!)
