Actually, I'm running FreeBSD 7.0, and I have never been able to print from the command line while using a CUPS installed printer. Localhost:631 does indeed report the printer as GENERIC PostScript Printer. > ps: this conversation may be off-topic or vary loosely on-topic as it > pertains to/originated with printing from mutt. True. And although my main concern is to be able to print from Mutt, the whole discussion about printer installation may be pulling us off-topic.
