I followed along with the above article.


Pages 1 and 2 were uneventful.


On page 3 (Configuring the CUPS Print Server), the following files do 
not exist on my system:

/usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types
/usr/local/etc/cups/mime.convs


Perhaps the recommended setting:

application/octet-stream


Is already in the source code (?):

toor@freebsd:/root # grep octet-stream -r /usr/local/include/cups
/usr/local/include/cups/cups.h:#  define CUPS_FORMAT_AUTO	 
"application/octet-stream"


Page 4 was uneventful.


I didn't need to go any further -- the CUPS web user interface works and 
the printer dialogs in LibreOffice and eVince work.


Thanks, everyone, for the help.  :-)
