Can't print to HP LJ 1020 using foo2zjs and CUPS

Hi,
I'm trying to set up HP LaserJet 1020 on 10.2-RELEASE with CUPS and
foo2zjs. That worked on previous versions of FreeBSD, although there
were changes with devices to use (I gues it was ulpt to ugen and back to
ulpt in 10.0).
But now none of them works for me.
If I use ulpt, the moment I plug in the printer or turn it on:
ugen3.2: <Hewlett-Packard> at usbus3 (disconnected)
ugen3.2: <Hewlett-Packard> at usbus3
ugen3.2: <Hewlett-Packard> at usbus3 (disconnected)
ugen3.2: <Hewlett-Packard> at usbus3
ulpt0: <Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1020, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr
2> on usbus3
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
ulpt0: offline
CUPS doesn't find this printer. I can still add it manually but when I
try to print, nothing happens, and there are no error messages. I found
out that it is exactly after the firmware is downloaded that ulpt0 turns
offline (should it?).
If I use ugen (rebuilt CUPS with LIBUSB, moved away
/boot/kernel/ulpt.ko), then CUPS detects the printer but no firmware
gets downloaded, and, of course, I can't print. When I try to send the
firmware manually
cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/ugen3.2 (or
/dev/usb/3.2.0)
the result is an input/output error.
Any ideas of what might be wrong or how it should work now?
Permissions in /etc/devfs.rules:
# Begin printers_foo2zjs (added by foo2zjs/freebsd-install)
[printers_foo2zjs=42]
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups

add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 group cups

Thanks,
