The settings for gimp-print are still there, I can see them when I access cups via http:/localhost:631. I think I might have wiped out a necessary script when I used mergemaster after my last upgrade. FreeBSD is very new to me so I took the defaults as much as possible while running mergemaster. (I inadvertently wiped out all my ordinary users. :-) Though I did catch my firewall! Live and learn.) I also removed packages for the Gnome desktop which I initially installed but decided I prefer to use KDE. Not all of them though, I saved those which other packages seamed dependent on. Basicly I removed those packages which did not upgrade and were not dependencies for other packages and were not applications which I intended to use. I might have wiped out something there. Brain dead newbie question, is there a way to send a file to print via cups through the command line? That might give me an error message to track. Thanks
