Hi, I hope this would work for you.. I have recently installed my printer and be able to print successfully using CUPS and gimp-print drivers. What I did was: 1. Install the latest cups printing daemon and gimp-print or whatever port you will need to drive your printer(I don't know if you still need those drivers though) "some printers doesn't need one" In my case I've installed cups-base-1.1.20.0 2. cd to /usr/local/etc/rc.d then 'cp cups.sh.sample cups.sh' 3. execute 'cups.sh start'(also, the next time you boot, you will see that cups daemon will automatically be started) 4. go to http://localhost:631/admin then try the web interface configuration of cups. That's it! Goodluck > I tried the web interface, and that's what's not > printing test pages.
