>Description:
Reporting a bug about a printer not functioning in FreeBSD. I was told about a mailing list wich is unfamilular to me. Can I have an educated guess if its possible to print paper with FreeBSD. On a fresh install and adding the foo2zjs port for a printer needing firmware every time its re-powered.

Answer that first please.

Today's date is Jan 16th, I see the problem may be 3 years old now so figuring that out today I'm beginning to think FreeBSD is just pretty.

Please don't close this report untill its fixed.

 
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD

Hello, sadly I am going to close this PR, but i am also pointing you at 
the list that might be able to help you (Which is better suited for your 
request then the bug database): please visit 
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions and 
subscribe there, then post the question to questions@FreeBSD.org and 
read the advise people are going to give. Hopefully someone will be able 
to assist you and guide you through the details needed. IF someone still 
considers this a bug-report, please report as much information as 
possible stating that something does not work while it is expected to do 
so with a boot-verbose, and pciconf -vl and possible usb device output 
(if this is an USB printer). Prior to that, please seek help on the 
mailinglist first, the bugdatabase is not for questions. THanks for 
using FreeBSD and taking the time to report this though!
