hplip and networked printers

I've been away from FreeBSD for too long, so I suspect I must be missing something obvious.

I have an HP C4795 scanner/copier/printer. I've found with Linux that the scanner will only work when I've installed hplip.

In FreeBSD, if I install it without net-snmp, when I try to set it up with h p-setup -i <IP_Address> I get a message that only USB connected printers are supported.

However, googling has found me nothing, searching pr's has found me nothing but a mention of adding the message about snmp to the port. (This is why I suspect I'm missing something obvious.)

Installing with pkg_add hplip3 gives me the same result. This is on a fairly new install of 8.1-RELEASE.

If anyone knows if I'm missing something very obvious, I'd be grateful for an explanation.
