I am running BSD 6.4, just installed

I have similar issues with an HP M1132 MFP. What plugin are you talking
about here? I can find nothing in the packages. However I do find one on
the FreeBSD package site.

I cannot get the hplip-setup to run - either it does not recognise the
GUI (but demands one) or:

# hplip-setup -i 192.168.0.10
(I select 1 for printer on wifi)
error: no device selected/specified that supports this functionality

So where do I go from here?

(the real solution is to junk this printer and buy a proper postscript
one but can't afford that right now).

best
Ian
