You mean the blackbox ("JetDirect") sold in better stores is essentially 
existing within FreeBSD/Ports already?

Damn, I was on the *verge* of heading out next week to buy one of those 
given that I could *not* get my "all-in-one" HP psc2105 to function at 
all. I'd given up after days of struggle since the end didn't seem to 
justify the means. (Windows XP box is pretty much up 24/7 anyway for 
anyone who needs to print)
