Hi FreeBSD people,
I am trying to make my HP LaserJet P1102 work on FreeBSD 8.1 and
towards that goal I installed HPLIP 3.10.9 from the Ports Collection.
But there are two problems:
1.First, when I try to run HPLIP in the GUI (GNOME), it closes once
it's opened. It remains open for less than a second.
2.Second, it does not recognize my printer. When I use the
command-line tools it just simply does not recognize my printer. This
is while the printer is recognized on the USB bus, I confirm it by
using "usbconfig".

Can you give me a little help? Has anyone ever managed to get this
printer (HP P1102) working on FreeBSD?

Good Luck
