Hrm, I thought I saw Oko mention foomatic being broken for FreeBSD as well. (Which, at least judging from a one person experience with one printer that was definitely working in November, seems to be the case.)
I may look into this method, though I'm not sure how much time I'm willing to put into it. I don't have any big prejudice against cups, which as worked well for me for quite awhile--to be honest, since Apple bought it. However, whatever happened to foomatic is annoying.
I print so infrequently, this is more something I would do just out of curiosity--it is annoying though, that a printer that worked before (in 9.x?) stopped working. If I do try the lpd method, I'll follow up here.
