Once you have setup cups correctly you can simply type # lpr your_image.jpg and it will be printed out. > I can print test pages with the CUPS interface w/o a problem.

There might be a very simple reason for your problems: Cups' lpr program lives in /usr/local/bin/lpr and thus will be shadowed by FreeBSD's native /usr/bin/lpr . Try something like # /usr/local/bin/lpr your_image.jpg If that works we will have to set some links and everything will be fine.
