OfficeJet R60 and HPLIP

Dear ALL,
I am an older newbie trying to set up an old HP Office Jet R60 on my 
office computer running
FreeBSD 6.2 Stable with the Generic kernel. I followed excellent how to
http://dsteinbrook.googlepages.com/hpliponfreebsd 
by Daniel Steinbrook (I am trying to use HPLIP since the printer is 
listed as a fully functional even Linux printing is recommending HPLIP 
for this printer)
except the part about customizing kernel since my printer has a parallel 
port(I assume that part was relevant only for USB printers so I left 
kernel GENERIC). Unfortunately when I run hp-setup utility the printer 
is not detected. However printer is detected by OS as you can see from

so I tried manually to specify the device not as /dev/ppc0 (but ppc0 is 
also not in /dev
also I do not have /dev/ppc0) I also tried /dev/lpt0 as a device node 
since I can get printer reacting on lptest > /dev/lpt0. Unfortunately it 
prints only one line of codes instead of whole page. I was not playing 
enough with LP in hope of being able to do HPLIP

Could anybody tell me what am I doing so wrong and give me some kind of 
directions?  Sorry for this simple question.

P.S.
I tried to use CUPS but it seems to me that cups expects printer to be 
detected as USB or network printer. ( I am messing up something big time 
with the parallel ports).
All I have done was from the root account (I will set permissions 
latter). My computer is set up to run as a free standing Desktop so the 
host name is something generic.
