That would be news to my HP LJ 1200.  From dmesg:

ulpt0: HewLett Packard HP LaserJet 1200, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode

Have you tried connecting your USB printer to see if FreeBSD recognizes it?  
If it does, using CUPS to configure it usually easier than setting it up on 
Windows.
