The hplip port automatically creates the user.  If you are using hplip 
then you shouldn't have ulpt in your kernel or be loading it as a 
module.  eg.  You printer MUST attach as a ugen device.  Once it is 
attaching as a ugen device you should run hp-setup to correctly 
configure the printer via the HP utilities.

If there is any confusion I'd suggest updating to 1.6.6a from the 
following PR and following all the instructions in the pkg-message 
from the PR as it explains everything you need to do to get hpluip up 
and running correctly.
