You guided me in the right direction. To solve the printing issue I installed apsfilter and chose the hpij drivers, the printer appeared and I selected it. I then configured it and voila it worked :) I found the following page http://www.freebsdfoo.com/bsd-print-foo.txt and it helped me. I is an old printer my mom got for me in a yard sale three years ago and thankfully to you guys, with your suggestions/advice I got it to work with FreeBSD amd64 8.2! Regards, Antonio @Ross, I might take the advice of compiling the kernel as I am heavily looking to create a livecd/livedvd of FreeBSD. I liked freesbie, installed it port, but don't know how to use it/create it. I like Frenzy but can't find the SDK, I will create a new thread on this later. Thanks again.
