Paul,
I've seen you've filed more PRs ports/120924 and misc/120950 about your
problem.
Please follow up with me by private mail if you want your problem get
solved instead of filing more PRs! As I already told you, GNATS is a bug
tracking database but not a support channel for chatting to a support
person.
I think you're having several problems at the same time. First, you need
to get FreeBSD recognizing your USB device correctly, second you need to
have CUPS install a printer driver for you.
To work out both, I've already offered assistance to you but
unfortunately you did not get back to me.
Please send me the following information:
dmesg
usbctl -v
pkg_info -I '*cups*'
Also I think the FreeBSD handbook might be of interest to you:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
and you'll find information about our mailing lists at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL
For your problem, a good mailing list might be freebsd-questions@
Please either get in touch with me by private mail or use the mailing
list for questions like "how do I...". You'll also find friendly people
willing to help you in some FreeBSD minded web forums.
Thanks!
