Use the "find new printers" function to have CUPS detect the printer and load the required driver automatically. You can supply a PPD if you have one. It might be needed to install "hplip" or "hpijs" or "hpcups" with pkg in addition to CUPS. Additional information: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/ It's really easy as long as your printer supports standards. You can verify supported device (by hplip) on this page: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html I see a "HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515" All-in-one Printer" is supported, but I only find the "HP Deskjet F380", no "L380" model in the lists; maybe that one is compatible to something else, or works with the "foo2zjs" driver package ("Splix")? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
