Hey Mike,

I am having the same problem under HP Photosmart 1215.  Sorry I don't
have an answer for you.  But I noticed that we have one thing in common,
the device is more than just a printer.  The Photosmart accepts memory
cards from Camera's and the like and can be used as a removable drive.

For anybody reading this that might be able to debug the ulpt support, I
wonder if ulpt cannot recognize the printer because of this.  (I will try
to debug this, but I'm new to FreeBSD and also spending most of my time
trying to become re-employed :-).
