Hi, porters.

    Along to an anonymous friend's ask of cups port on FreeBSD, I've done
a test port of cups. According to its web, http://www.cups.org/, I think
it is a Common UNIX Printing System.

    Since I don't have any printer attached on my FreeBSD box, all I can do
are limited to 'make install' and 'make package'. Some more tunning are just
install a cups.sh under /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

    Now I have confidence that this test port won't dirty anyone's system,
so could you please test if this works ? I mean, test if it could really
print and act as what its documentation said. I couldn't verify it and need
your help. Any fix/patch/suggetion/criticism are welcome.

    This test port is on http://people.freebsd.org/~clive/dist/cups.tgz

    I know there's already a port in NetBSD, but its dependency scares me :-)
Finally I decided to brew it myself. I'll take a look at NetBSD's cups when
I have free time.

Thanks,
Clive
