hplip geneic usb kernel --solved--

I've installed hplip but it tells me I need to compile a new kernel.When I try to do that ( custom kernel ) I'm missing a kernel configuration file. I've tried rebuilding the world and kernel using source code development instructions for 3.5 source. still no kernel configuration file.
The message I read says that hplip uses the generic USB (ugen) configuration and not the device ulpt. I have hplip installed but it doesn't see my hp psc 2175 all in one device. I've gotten the printer to do something with cups config. but no scanner.
When I try and use the ports system and compile hplip I get locked out of root even though it will see the printer, I can no longer be [su].
So, it looks like I need to compile a kernel disabling ulpt and enabling ugen.
Please help!

I did compile a kernel and remove device lpt. dmesg | grep ugen sees hewlett packad as usb2 so maybe it will work.

A-dog I have no idea on that, but if you try find information how to do it under FreeBSD you might find what you need.

The above address has the right instructions


to make the scanner work do :cd /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf

thanks for the information I might add that to the GhostBSD by default.
