Actually you can't blame Bill for this one. CUPS is an Apple / MacOS X
thing. I must say, it works really smoothly on my MacBook -- I just
plug in the USB cable from my printer and hit print -- but I never got
it to work properly under FreeBSD. (Mostly that was because I had the
system lpr working just fine on my old FBSD machine connected to the
printer using a parallel port. Newer hardware doesn't even have a
parallel port now.)
Cheers,
Matthew
