freebsd-questions: I have a computer with: toor@freebsd:/root # freebsd-version 11.0-RELEASE-p7 toor@freebsd:/root # uname -a FreeBSD freebsd 11.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 #0 r306420: Thu Sep 29 03:40:55 UTC 2016 root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 toor@freebsd:/root # pkg info xfce | head -n 1 xfce-4.12_1 I wanted to print a document today. I went looking for: Application Menu -> Settings -> Printing It does not exist. All I see is: Application Menu -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Printing System Settings CUPS is missing from the left-hand pane. When I try to print from within LibreOffice Writer, the choices available in the Print dialog are not encouraging: Print to File... Generic Printer So, I installed: xfce4-print Which said: ===> NOTICE: This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it: Depends on unmaintained x11-toolkits/libxfce4gui. Application Menu -> Settings -> Printing still does not exist, and the LibreOffice Writer Print dialog still does not look encouraging. Any suggestions for getting CUPS working? David
