I didn't like the hplip3 port, it ws the only thing that used qt on my
machince.  I don't remember if I got hplip3 to work, not meaning qt was a
problem.

for lpd with the ghostscript drivers installed you will likely need to
correct the stair case effect via the ifhp file and change permissions on it
to print. Configure lpd to run, check the handbook.


in /usr/etc/printcap i have
lp:hp:photosmart:c3140:\
     :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:\
     :lp=/dev/unlpt0:\
     :if=/usr/local/libexec/ifhp:
