Bob,
Thanks for the tips. I have these ports installed, but am tripping
over something stupidly basic: what converts the pict0001.jpg into
something that can be fed to the hpijs driver that will print?
Warner
I use the gimp for that (graphics/gimp). The kde programs Krita, Kview,
and KolourPaintAlso, as well as the gtk program gqview, can all print
too. I can't vouch for their usefulness since I've never used them for
printing.
You might also try browsing http://www.freebsd.org/ports/graphics.html
to see if there's something there that sounds better.
HTH,
Micah
