However, it doesn't seem clear to me whether I'm better off using LPRNG or LPD. The Handbook doesn't really address PCL conversion directly (just postscript). Both daemons require different approaches, and I thought that staying simple and standard would be best. I've checked out the /usr/ports collection (which I have updated) and there doesn't appear to be any PCL-related utilities in the print section. So, I'm wondering if you recommend something.
