I cannot seem to configure it, though. I have tried the web interface at localhost:631, but it seems that the cupsd.conf file was not created. Well, then I tried to create this using the print server configuration in KDE and I keep getting permission denied errors when I try to write the cupsd.conf file (running this as root, btw). Basically I am looking for a tutorial somewhere to get CUPS up and running on FreeBSD. Actually, I do have it running, I just can't configure it or add any printers. Not much use without printers :) I checked on freebsddiary.org, and the CUPS page there doesn't cover the configuration of the server itself it seems. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Todd Stephens
