Device drivers for printers in text mode come as part of the basic operating system. There's a good guide on how to set up printers at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ For printing PostScript, you can install the ghostscript package, which has PostScript drivers for most printers. I'm not sure if the version of ghostscript (3.51) in the package supports your printer, but a package for version 4.0 should be available in the next couple of weeks. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
