I don't have any printing installed currently. I may be getting a
printer for this machine at some point in the future (at which point
I'll have to figure out how to get printing to a printer working).

When I run
# which cups

the response is:
cups: Command not found.

would
# portinstall cups
install this printing option? or would I have to install something
else?
