One of the items that seemed to drastically was CUPS. I had CUPS-2.0.1 and now have CUPS-2.2.1, but it seems I have lost all printing ability. I re-installed all available cups packages (except client, can't see where that exists) along with gutenprint and hplip. I see on the ports page that there a secondary package called hplip-plugins but pkg will not install it as it says it cannot find any package matching that name. Cups sees the printer, it seems up, but when I attempt to print a test page, I get the following error: Unable to print test page: Unsupported format "text/plain". Looking in /usr/local/etc/cups and I don't see any definition for "text/plain". Also, the cups filter in the .ppd for the printer is set to "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 hpcups", but I can find no definition of vnd.cups-raster nor hpcups. Tried googling and most of the solutions are targeted for Linux platforms and are packages that I no longer see in the ports tree. Any pointers, suggestions, how to's are appreciated. This has been the main print server in my office and a couple of colleagues with Apple devices (iPads, iPhones and Macbooks) depend on it for printing. Thanks, Patrick
