Printing to an HP Laserjet 1020 from FreeBSD using CUPS and foo2zjs
I’m setting up my Soekris box as a printer server. The printer is a Hewlett Packard Laserjet 1020. I’m running FreeBSD 7-Stable as the operating system and I want to use CUPS as the print manager.

Installing FreeBSD on a Soekris net5501 using PXE and dnsmasq
I’m the proud owner of a new Soekris net5501. This is a low power SBC (Single Board Computer) that I intend to use as a:
- router,
- firewall,
- name server,
- wireless access point,
- VPN end-point,
- PBX,
- SMTP server,
- IMAP server,
- NTP server,
- file server (both NFS and SMB),
- UPS monitor,
- print server,
- database server, and
- source control server
for my home network. My preferred operating system is FreeBSD and I’m installing the most recent stable release – 7.2.
