    I am trying to get a HP deskjet cp 1160 connected to a
    jetdirect working with FreeBSD 5.3 stable using cups
    and hpijs. I am not able to get a full list of
    foomatic drivers when setting up the printer in cups.
    I only see the PPD file I downloaded and it doesn't
    work. I am able to print using a genericdeskjet
    driver. However it is slow and low quality. I am
    unable to see the printer in applications such as Open
    Office.

    I installed the following ports:
    cups, cups, cups-lpr, cups-pstoraster, gimp-print,
    hpijs, ghostscript-gnu, foomatic-db, and perl5. I have
    made sym links to the cups lpr, lprm, and lpq and
    renamed those from bsd. I have put foomatic-rip and
    fomatic-gswrapper in usr/local/bin with chmod755. The
    scripts point to perl5. Basically I follwed the
    proceedure at
