Since you're not mentioning having tried something already, this might give you a start: After installing cups, you'll find in /usr/local/etc/rc.d a file called cups.sh.sample. If you want cups to automatically start at each boot, copy this to cups.sh. Then you either can reboot your system, or do as root "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start". In your webbrowser, you can now go to http://localhost:631/. Enter 'root' as username and the root password. Then you get into the CUPS administration pages to add your printer. Rob.
