Hate me for having that opinion, but I > feel to say it. Actually you can't blame Bill for this one. CUPS is an Apple / MacOS X thing. I must say, it works really smoothly on my MacBook -- I just plug in the USB cable from my printer and hit print -- but I never got it to work properly under FreeBSD. (Mostly that was because I had the system lpr working just fine on my old FBSD machine connected to the printer using a parallel port. Newer hardware doesn't even have a parallel port now.)
