This provides the force function you need I believe. Or you might be able to build it as a port to get it installed. / /pkg-add is used when you have downloaded a pkg tarball manually. Virtually always you probably want to use pkg-install -- as this will handle automatically fetching the package and any dependencies from a repository. pkg-install understands '-f' to force installation. Cheers, Matthew / /-- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. I have tried pkg install -f hpijs ( after installing hplip via ports) ===> Cleaning for foomatic-filters-4.0.17 ===> Cleaning for hplip-3.14.1 root@Europa:/usr/ports/print/hplip # pkg install -f hpijs Updating repository catalogue The following 1 packages will be installed: Installing hpijs: 2.1.4_6 The installation will require 3 MB more space 0 B to be downloaded Proceed with installing packages [y/N]: y Checking integrity...pkg: WARNING: locally installed foomatic-filters-4.0.17 conflicts on /usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip with: - hpijs-2.1.4_6 pkg: WARNING: locally installed hplip-3.14.1 conflicts on /usr/local/bin/hpijs with: - hpijs-2.1.4_6 root@Europa:/usr/ports/print/hplip # So it does not seem to have a working force function. In the olden days pkg_add -f hpijs here hammered the file in with the same complaints, but with a working printer and a correct HPcp1515n.ppd available in cups. Any suggestions to work aorund this ? Blessed be , Kenneth /
