Dear Predrag,

I do read man pages. But 1) As far as I can tell, you will not find any
information anywhere about foomatic-rip (or any other smart filter)
when you just install the system, and 2), on a similar note, you can
only read pkg-readmes when you have the packages already installed.
I didn't know it all goes with the cups-filters package.

No.
I read your post before I asked. It's actually one of the few
things I found. But there you say: install foomatic-rip. It does
not mention where to get it.

Around here we actually read man pages and pkg-readmes

predrag@oko$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.bagdala2.net 6.3 GENERIC.MP#107 amd64

Please check for foomatic-rip filters explanation which was
intensionally broken by upstream for LPD spooling 

/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/cups-filters-1.20.1

You should also try to find your answer by searching first 

misc@openbsd and ports@openbsd

Here is my post which would have answered your question.

Most of OpenBSD guys I personally know are big believers in KISS
principle. Answering original question with a suggestion that a simple
functionality available from the base should be replaced with a very
complicated external program is a bad advise.

Hello,

I want to print from openBSD 6.3. I tried to use lpd and found
some information on the web about setting up /etc/printcap.
Many texts use the foomatic-rip program. I can't find one
in ports. Is there anything instead? What's the recommended
way to set up printing?

Thanks for any comments
