It seems that one needs ulpt, otherwise the printer isn't found.
So I added to /boot/loader.conf ulpt_load="YES" then the printer is 
found by cups and hplip.

But I do not want to use cups so I deinstalled it. Cups can't print a 
testpage so I resorted to lpd.
Which can't print anything, so back to cups that too can't print 
anything. So I'm stuck.

Printer is HP laserjet P2055d
