Except for OpenOffice, but that's another problem I guess. Marco I do not use Open Office so I do not know from the top of my head how to fix it. However if you print now from OpenOffice it should print into the PostScript file. That file is printable with lpr. You can make a small script that you will put into the .openoffice or something like that which will execute these commands simultaneously. Look for the solution on the net. You are not the first guy who is trying to print from the OpenOffice running FreeBSD.

In the gnome-cups- manager the printer is showing. But when I try to print a test from the gnome-cups-manager I get a message that it's printed and the led on the printer flickers, but nothing is coming out. Because by default it prints to PostScript file not a real printer. Even when the cups logfile is saying the print has succeeded. Also It's impossible to print from any application (Gnome or not), the printer is not showing, or when trying to print to /usr/local/bin/lpr nothing happens. You have to adjust the preferences.

Printing in Gnome
Hi, I'm having trouble getting things printed in Gnome. CUPS is installed and printing a test from localhost:631 is working fine. In the gnome-cups- manager the printer is showing. But when I try to print a test from the gnome-cups-manager I get a message that it's printed and the led on the printer flickers, but nothing is coming out. Even when the cups logfile is saying the print has succeeded. Also It's impossible to print from any application (Gnome or not), the printer is not showing, or when trying to print to /usr/local/bin/lpr nothing happens. Has someone an idea what to do next?
