You solution in the same of the bug report I mentioned in another post in this thread. It refers to the bug report and fix in: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2006-July/094331.html I still have problems with CUPS. It borks complaining about foomatic-rip not being found, although it installed. Did you get a problem like that too? I have a HP Deskjet 840C on /dev/lpt0 Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Henry Lenzi
