I use CUPS and I like it, because it's so easy.

Cups has an easy printer install/add wizard, that
works for my HP LaserJet printer.
There's a selection item for HP Deskjet too, which
should work for you.

Be aware that cups installs its own lpr related
executables in /usr/local/bin, which may clash with
the ones the base system installs in /usr/bin.
You can remove the ones in /usr/bin, and for a next
buildworld, have

  CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
  NO_LPR=yes

in /etc/make.conf.
