The problem is that the port is not being updated. If you get LPRng and ifhp from www.lprng.org. They build and install very cleanly on FreeBSD with customizations to do things the way they are normally done on FreeBSD. If I get a bit of free time I will submit port updates for this. The author was sending in updates, but not to gnats, so I suspect they have been totally ignored. Get the latest LPRng, LPRngTools, and ifhp and see if they work. NOTE: They now use /usr/local/etc/printcap and not /usr/printcap. This is the "right thing", but it sure had me confused before I realized what was happening. R.
