If your printer is in lpt0, that would be: parallel://dev/lpt0 *However*, there's a bug report worth reading (I fixed this on my 6.0 - this is fixed in 6.1). Bug num. 99745 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2006-July/094331.html If you used 6.0, follow the instructions and your printer will be detected. I still remains with some other problems regarding CUPS...regarding ffomatic-rip. Hope this helped. Cheers, Henry
