I have not done this in FreeBSD, only Linux.  I have a printer that requires 
HPOJ, which I don't believe is available for FreeBSD.  My printer is a 
Hewlett-Packard PSC 2110 "All-in-one" and it is a USB printer.  Someone told 
me that HPLIP is what I should use but I was unable to get it to work with my 
printer.

I believe I used instructions I found at Marcel Gagne's website to get network 
scanning working in Linux.
