Yes, I dried all the obvious, HP-toolbox says " No devices
found.Please make sure your printer is properly connected and powe
red-on."

Indeed, I had anticipated this and configured appropriatly, ulpt
does not exist in my custom kernel.

I guess, that's how it worked back in my Linux days. (but that too,
was many versions ago)

Now the pith of the matter. I also emailed Mr. Mistry, the maintainer;
and he says "Your printer needs a newer version of hplip that isn't in
the ports yet.  I'm planning on submitting and update this weekend."
So, I'll wait! Thank you all very much for your help; I'll give the list
a post when I try this.

--Thank you.
