>Description:
Reporting a bug about a printer not functioning in FreeBSD. I was told about a mailing list wich is unfamilular to me. Can I have an educated guess if its possible to print paper with FreeBSD. On a fresh install and adding the foo2zjs port for a printer needing firmware every time its re-powered.

Answer that first please.

Today's date is Jan 16th, I see the problem may be 3 years old now so figuring that out today I'm beginning to think FreeBSD is just pretty.

Please don't close this report untill its fixed.
