Thanks for your perseverance, making some progress...
I did have older driver versions, but no choice for the newer ones.
I reinstalled all of my ports and now see the following:
Epson Stylus Pro 3880 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.10
HP Officejet Pro 8500 a909g, hpcups 3.16.10
The Epson seems to be working ok; I can now print a self-test and a test page.
However, when I go to print a self-test page on the HP I get:
Unsupported document-format "application/vnd.cups-command"
/usr/local/share/cups/mime/
# "$Id: mime.types 7670 2008-06-17 22:42:08Z mike $"
contains:
application/vnd.cups-command string(0,'#CUPS-COMMAND')
cupsfilters.types contains only the following application* mime types:
application/vnd.adobe-reader-postscript
application/vnd.cups-pdf
application/vnd.cups-pdf-banner
I have the following ports installed:
$ pkg info | awk '{ print $1 }' - | grep -E "cups|foo|guten|ghost|hp"
cups-2.2.1
cups-filters-1.11.4
foomatic-db-20161105
foomatic-db-hpijs-1.4
ghostscript9-agpl-base-9.16_5
gutenprint-base-5.2.10_2
gutenprint-cups-5.2.10_3
hplip-3.16.10
hplip-plugin-3.16.10
I'm guessing I need cups-pstoraster for the missing piece?
If I try to add
print/cups-pstoraster
which also installs
print/cups-client
print/cups-image
I can't because of conflicts:
pkg-static: cups-client-2.0.3_2 conflicts with cups-2.2.1
(installs files into the same place).
Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/cups-config
It's unclear to me what gets installed from the print/cups port;
I had thought it was a meta-port that would install cups-base and others
depending on the options, but apparently not. What is the difference
between print/cups-base and print/cups?
