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?
