Hello list.
I'm trying to use CUPS for the first time, with all the good things
I've heard/read about it on this list. I'm mainly trying to use it as
I've got an OfficeJet G85 that I've never used with FreeBSD and
linuxprinting.org has a 'mostly' working driver.
Here's what I've done thus far:
I've installed CUPS, and have a running daemon. I can login and
install printers. I've downloaded the recommended the correct .ppd
file according to linuxprinting.org, and tried installing the foomatic
scripts it says I need.
When I try to print a test page, I get no output what-so-ever and no
indication on the printer anything has even happened.
I don't know where the CUPS logfile would be, so I can't read that.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cups installs /usr/local/bin/lp and /usr/local/bin/lpr and leaves
/usr/bin/lp and /usr/bin/lpr in place. Back these up, symlink the cups
versions into their places and try again.
And for a next world build and/or CUPS install, put in /etc/make.conf
NO_LPR=yes
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
