Ahhhh... didn't realize that.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. At this point it appears both printers are now working; thanks a bundle. Now rebuilding office stuff and gimp, etc and see that they work. >> 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.

If > you still see these ports your ports tree isn't updating properly. hmmm. Yes, I still see them. This is a new-ish 10.3 install. UPDATING implies they were trashed 20160311; why would they still be there or at least not marked obsolete? This sys was installed within the last month and updated, now at p7; portsnap fetch & update several times since and including over the weekend. Is there an easy way to discover and remove all "no longer existing" ports? Or do I have to remove /usr/ports/* and rebuild everything? again, thanks for helping me work through this.
