>From a quick look I couldn't tell if it is a IPP or LPD printer. The easiest way may be to install the cups package. I found an articles that may help: http://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to_setup_cups_in_netbsd/ The basic steps: Make sure you can ping your printer. pkgin install cups pkgin install foomatic-ppds-cups cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/cupsd /etc/rc.d/ mkdir -p /etc/rc.conf.d/ echo cupds=YES >> /etc/rc.conf.d/cupsd /etc/rc.d/cupsd start In your webbrowser on the same system go to http://localhost:631 http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html may have some details. Use that to add your new printer. Send a test page using that CUPS interface. Print using /usr/pkg/bin/lpr There may be some more steps you need too. Also consider installing xfce4-print package to manage print jobs in xfce (but no configuration of printer there).
