Thanks, Mike. I didn't have a chance to try it out: I decided to switch ack to Gentoo because of the steep learning curve that comes along with FreeBSD's ports & packages.


Can I just say that moving back to Gentoo because of a "steep learning curve" is no just ironic, but down right funny. :-)

Installing CUPS/HPIJS was as easy as...

%> emerge cups ghostscript hpijs

Portage automatically retrieves, compiles, and installs CUPS, GhostScript, the complete Foomatic configurator, HPIJS, etc., etc. and _integrates_them_all_. i.e., All of the HPIJS drivers/filters and Foomatic drivers/filters are *already* present in the web-based CUPS interface.

Now *that* is what I call a relatively-flat learning curve!!!
