Ross,

I am afraid to screw up and for the first time, I can say that I have
updated FreeBSD successfully without hiccups and I have not compiled
the kernel on FreeBSD :(, I have done it on linux systems many times,
but have not here, and I would hate to lose all the work just to get
the printer working.

I will be patient and try some things out then report back.  I
appreciate the help and if I can't find a solution, I will take the
plunge :) and hopefully not fail.

Regards,

Antonio
