Thanks for testing, Jurgen! I've merged your changes into the port
and polished it a bit, so now it builds on all FreeBSD versions and
without plist problems.

Unfortunately I'm unable to test this and I have very shallow vision
of functionality and regressions of this update.

First of all, here's latest version of the port:
http://people.freebsd.org/~amdmi3/hplip.shar
Please use it as a base for further changes (and also please check
that I haven't missed any of your enchantments).

As I understood, the update has regressions compared to the hplip
version which is currently in ports, thus it's not possible to just
update it. Can you (both Jurgen and Chris) give me a brief summary of
how the update is better and worse than the current version? If it has
enough working/new features, it would be nice to commit this change as
hplip-devel. And, in either case, how hard is it (if possible) to
fix the regressions?
