I find brute force and ignorance quite good. $ doas pkg_add -ui cups # for example
reinstalls cups and all dependencies. Then re-add your printer at $ firefox http://localhost:631 I too cannot print a pdf from Firefox directly to my HP Deskjet 2540 MFI, connected directly to the usb. Webpages do print and saving the pdf to disk and using xpdf to print works around the problem. The cups logs when attempting to print a pdf directly from Firefox give: /var/log/cups/access_log : "POST /printers/hp HTTP/1.1" 200 403 Print-Job client-error-bad-request /var/log/cups/error_log : HTTP_STATE_WAITING Closing for error 32 (Broken pipe) Lastly you might put "LogLevel debug" into /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and $ doas rcctl restart cupsd see what it gives you. After that it is beyond me. :) My apologies if I am talking well below your understanding. It is my level.
