Whoops.. my bad. 

This was actually installed with patches to hpijs from this PR:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/54156

I wonder why it wasn't committed since July.

You need to install the foomatic-db port..

But you can download foomatic-rip from www.linuxprinting.org and yes it
is just a perl script to configure options to control printer driver
options and filters.

For Epson printers.. gimp-print already gives you the best results and
it's already configured automatically by the port install of gimp-print
if you already have cups.

For hpijs though, it isn't.
