HP Desktjet D1420 detected by Freebsd, but not CUPS

Hello,

I'm using hplip (from ports) with an usb-conected HP PS8250, and it
works like a charm.

Have you tried restarting cupsd and hpiod, hpssd in the correct order?
Does hp-toolbox say anything interesting if you try to run it?

IIRC, you need a kernel without ulpt (I don't remember if it is in
GENERIC or not), and also without umass if your printer has memory card
slots.

Hmm, I used cups web interface to setup my printer, but don't remember
how (it is many versions ago). I suspect that the printer just showed
up and I just selected it.

Perhaps this page will help:
