    Use cups and hpijs:

    print/cups
    print/hpijs

    grab the ppd from linuxprinting.org and put it
    in /usr/local/share/cups/model

    http://freebsddiary.org has an article on setting up cups.

    Make sure you plug the printer and turn it on first, before configuring
    it in cups so that the option to select the interface for usb will show
    up.

    The scanner part currently does not work on FreeBSD 5.x :( The port for
    that is graphics/hpoj (let us know if you get it working).

    The copier function works independently.

    Good luck
