I have found a page in OpenPrinting: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-DeskJet_812C But the device /dev/ulpt0 and/or /dev/unlpt0 are not found :( quadcore# ls /dev/ulpt0 ls: /dev/ulpt0: No such file or directory quadcore# ls /dev/unlpt0 ls: /dev/unlpt0: No such file or directory I need to add them somewhere in /etc/rc.conf, or in /boot/loader.conf ?
