I am completely at my wit's end in trying to get CUPS up and running
under FreeBSD 4.7. I am running a standalone workstation with a HP
Laserjet 4 attached to the parallel port.
Here are the problems:
1. If I try and install CUPS as a package from the 4.7 commercial CD
set, it installs only the base. When I try to access it through the web
interface, it fails saying that it cannot find the resource.
2. If I try and install CUPS (base, lpr, and pstoraster) as packages
using /stand/sysinstall from ftp.freebsd.org, when I try to access it
from the web interface, there is no choice for a parallel device in the
device dropdown box. On my system, under /dev, there is a device for
lpt0, having permissions crw------. If I use the following configuration
file (which I caged from another computer that did work under FreeBSD
4.7) for /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf, I can add the printer from
the command line. It will show up under the command "lpadmin -p -d",
accept print jobs that can be seen using "lpq" but nothing ever prints
at the printer.

3. If I try to install CUPS from /usr/ports/print/cups, it fails with
the following messages:
In file included from ./src/sdctc.c:20:

gmake: *** [obj/sdctc.o] Error 1

Stop in /usr/ports/print/cups-pstoraster.
*** Error code 1

This file is on my system at /usr/local/include/jpeglib.h.
This printer can set up either as a PCL and a PS printer. It works as either without problem under Red Hat Linux 7.3 on the same computer, using the same hardware configuration, so I am pretty sure that the problem lies in CUPS.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated, as I have tried everything that I can think of.
