I've never used that specific printer, but the first thing that comes to 
mind is the lack of ulpt entries. Do you have

device	ulpt

in your kernel config file, or

ulpt_load="YES"

in your /boot/loader.conf ?

If not, try one of them.


Hm. I just checked the output of my usbconfig, and it also shows no 
ulpt, though I do have it. And I also checked the GENERIC config file, 
and it does include ulpt, at least for 8.2-PRERELEASE amd64. So, you may 
actually have it. But that's still the first thing I'd look for if I 
were you.
