David The answer to my own question is: don't try to add printer using KDE... use the CUPS web interface instead. I didn't get the smb deal working, but I was able to attach to it as an lpr spool using the generic postscript driver. Unexpectedly, the quality of the print is a bit better than it was when this printer was directly connected to my FreeBSD box. Thanks to Kirk, Warren and Andrew for the helpful suggestions. If you guys ever get to Houston look me up and I'll buy you a beer. :) David -- Sure God created the world in only six days, but He didn't have an established user-base. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check out apsfilter in the ports collection. It work very well for that.

Does anyone have any experience doing this? Check out apsfilter in the ports collection. It work very well for that. OK. I installed apsfilter with 'make BATCH=yes APSFILTER_ALL=yes install' On running SETUP script and selecting the hpjis driver the script informs me that my installation of ghostscript does not support inclide this driver. I browsed through the Makefile in print/ghostscript-gnu and cannot find any mention of ijs. I KNOW there is support there somewhere, because this printer worked fine when it was attached to my FreeBSD box. (Until CUPS became so broken as to be useless.) Any hints on how to configure apsfilter for use with an HP DeskJet 3650?

Does anyone have any experience doing this? Samba's smbclient can send print jobs to Windows print servers. You may have to set up a plain text printer on the Windows system to keep it from reinterpreting the data. If the Windows print server (three words that *really* don't go together) supports lpd, just use lpr.
