Eric: I had the same problem when I moved from gentoo to freebsd, (which is only about two weeks ahead of you considering that is why I joined this list in the first place. im not sure if you are working from ports or not, but I chose to do prebuilt packages, just to get the system going I did a pkg_add -r ghostscript-gnu (not sure if this is required or not. then I did a pkg_add -r cups then pkg_add -r foomatic-db pkg_add -r foomatic-db-engine pkg_add -f foomatic-filters (please note I couldnt find a "meta" package that installs everything) then I did a pkg_add -r hpijs and that was all I needed to get cups running with my hp laserjet 1100 printer.
