--FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable CUPS with FreeBSD has some problems as I have noticed. If my printer is powered off when I boot up (and it is usually off) CUPS does not allow me to select the parallel driver when adding the printer. If my printer is on when FreeBSD is powered up, I see that the kernel says its name (supposedly because plug&pray stuff) and CUPS sees the parallel port driver perfectly. Well, I still have to "completly" verify this because I messed my installation some days ago and had to reinstall. Once you have configured the printer properly from CUPS, it does not=20 matter if it is powered or not when you bootup FreeBSD.
