I used the HPLIP port in conjunction with CUPS to get my home c6180 printer working. The FAX portion sucks, and probably always will. I just FAX from one of my Windows machines when the need arises. The printing thought is adequate. I still have not figured out how to get the CF, XD, etc ports to work with FreeBSD. They do work with Windows, so I know that they are working correctly. Luckily, I rarely utilize them anyway. I was wondering what "hp sw tool to update the CUPS printers' database" you are referring to. -- Jerry ✌ freebsd.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
