I can confirm that it does _not_ work (out of the box). There is a workaround that might work: if you set an environment variable CUPS_SERVER to localhost, you should be able to print: bash/sh: $ export CUPS_SERVER=localhost csh: % setenv CUPS_SERVER localhost > Unfortunately, none of the apps I've tests were able to print.

Yes, this is not a FreeBSD problem btw., it also occurs on Linux. cu, Uwe
