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.
