I'm using FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE
I've rebuild a kernel without ulpt.
I modified my /etc/rc.conf to enable cupsd and hpiod and hpssd.
I modified /etc/devfs.rules like suggested by cups (see pkg_info -D
cups-base-1.4.4 ).
I've made many other configurations like that suggested at
http://diablotins.org/index.php/Imprimer,_hplip
<http://diablotins.org/index.php/Imprimer,_hplip%20>
and finally, I've given to my students the wrong answer that "no one
can
print under FreeBSD !"
Which is wrong, all you need is a printer, that is _supported_.
Please where is the problem?
The LaserJet 1018 uses another protocol, so you need aditional software.
Take a look at these sites:
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_1018
http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/
Before buying the next printer, see whether or not it is supported by
Cups http://www.cups.org/ppd.php . Same goes for your students.

I got an HP Laser 1018 - works perfectly fine using the foo2zjs drivers,
and I do believe ultp0. I can send you my configs once I get home if you
want. The real pain which I keep forgetting after a reload or on new pc,
was having to initialize [cat firmware> /dev/ulpt0] each time the
computer is rebooted [ie @reboot in cron].
