Hello Laszlo,
You might want to add the following lines to /etc/make.conf
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
NO_LPR=yes
WITH_CUPS=yes
And rebuild the application you want to print from.
(The above was found on the excellent guide at
http://www.math.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/)
Thank you! I already have a running system, so I had to
setenv WITH_CUPS
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
make deinstall
make install clean
I do not fully understand why it is done this way. Most users -
including me - are going to install gnome2 first, and most likely CUPS
is not installed by that time. It is also true that many users who
install gnome2 will have a printer and want to use it. So I would
recommend to create a make option "[X] CUPS support" for gtk20, or at
least for gnome2. It was quite hard to find information about this issue
on the internet! Should I post a PR for this? (It is not a real bug but
I think it causes problems for many users.)
Thanks,
Laszlo
