Hello,
I'm now and than in the need of discussing CUPS / Postscript related
printing questions. In the past there was www.cups.org with a CUPS
related bug tracking system and user forums around CUPS. It seems that
the server crashed some time ago and it's unknown when (and how) it will

No, the only waste of time is repeating the same steps over and over and

Everything but your due diligence. 34+ thread on printing, some crap you
probably don't even need to print, Jesus. Never had an issue printing from
freebsd. HP jet direct with postscript are cheap(the old ones being the
good ones). I print from winblows if I need to do real printing.

Have a nice day. I'll just find another way to do my printing.

Try first printing a simple text file or even stdin from the cmd line,
like:

if this works, check the CUPS log files what the problem might be when
you print from your whatever graphical tool.

Provided the printer supports lpd protocol, i.e.

seems to support a lot of printers and has a configuration script that
