I just installed 5.1. Most things work pretty well so far, but I can't get the print system to work right. I can print plain text files, but I can't print web pages or .ps files.
My printer is a HP DeskJet 694C. I have a file called /usr/local/libexec/if-ps, which is an exact copy of the one listed (called ifhp) in the "FreeBSD Handbook." The only difference is that I replaced "djet500" with "cdj670". (I tried other choices also.)
When I try to print a web page or a .ps file, nothing happens. I know that lpr is seeing my if-ps file because when I put "echo test" into it, "test" gets printed.
Here's what I see in /var/log/lpd-errs:

What's going on here? Is ghostscript not working? (GhostView seems to work okay - except it won't print.)
I see that CUPS is on my system. But, I don't see any documentation for it. On my Linux system, these two statements in my /etc/rc.local take care of everything:
/usr/sbin/cupsd /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p DeskJet -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -m deskjet.ppd
But, there's no lpadmin on my FreeBSD system.
If someone could give me a simple CUPS solution, that would be fine too.

Check to see if you have cups-lpr, cups, and cups-base installed. If not install the missing items.
You'll need to replace freebsd's lp* binaries with cups's binaries (I think it tells you to do that too, or something like that)
browse to localhost:631 and do administrative tasks of checking the printers to ensure they are listed. If not then do the install printer process. Oh, in your /etc/make.conf do a man on that and put in the option that tells BSD to not install/compile the lp* and thus accidently replacing them with cups's.
That should get you going, hopefully.
